You can take advantage of pouch command line to experience the power of pouch. If you are not familiar with pouch yet, command line document is a must-read for you at the very beginning. Of cource, you make sure that you have installed pouch. More installation details, you can refer to INSTALLATION.md.
Pouch has an architecture of client/server, thus pouch has two part of command line tools:
- pouchd: a daemon side binary to run as a server;
- pouch: a client side binary to run as a client.
You can set up pouch daemon by executing pouchd which is located in your $PATH if you have installed pouch correctly. The running pouchd process can accept requests from pouch cli, handle requests and manage containers. pouchd is a long-running process background, and you can config for it by passing command line flags which is defined in pouchd.
You can use client side tool pouch to interact with daemon side process pouchd. Flags and arguments can be input to do what actually you wish. Then pouch parses the flags and arguments and sends a RESTful request to daemon side pouchd.
