IMPORTANT
Since the default of --host is the loopback address, it is not allowed to access machbase-neo from the remote hosts.
Set --host <host-address> or --host 0.0.0.0 for accepting the network connections from remote clients.

If execute machbase-neo serve with no flags,

$ machbase-neo serve

it is equivalent with

$ machbase-neo serve --host 127.0.0.1 --data ./machbase_home --file . --preset auto

machbase-neo shell

Start machbase-neo shell. It will start interactive mode shell if there are no other arguments.

e.g. -s unix://./mach-grpc.sock
--useruser name.
default: sys
env: NEOSHELL_USER		Since v8.0.4
--passwordpassword.
default: manager
env: NEOSHELL_PASSWORD		Since v8.0.4

When machbase-neo shell starts, it is looking for the user name and password from OS’s environment variables NEOSHELL_USER and NEOSHELL_PASSWORD. Then if the flags --user and --password are provided, it will override the provided values instead of the environment variables.

Precedence of username and password

Command line flags

If --user, --password is provided? Use the given values

Environment variables

If $NEOSHELL_USER (on windows %NEOSHELL_USER%) is set? Use the value as the user name.

If $NEOSHELL_PASSWORD (on windows %NEOSHELL_PASSWORD%) is set? Use the value as the password.

Default

None of those are provided? Use default value sys and manager.

Practical usage

For the security, use instant environment variables as below example.

$ NEOSHELL_PASSWORD='my-secret' machbase-neo shell --user sys

Be aware when you use --password flag, the secret can be exposed by simple ps command as like an example below.

$ machbase-neo shell --user sys --password manager
$ ps -aef |grep machbase-neo
