level-userdb-cli

CLI interface to databases produced by level-userdb.

This tool can either work against on-disk level-userdb databases, or over the network to a standalone level-userdb-server instance.

LeveDB databases can only be locked by a single process at a time, so level-userdb-server effectively allows administration of a live database.

Installation

npm install -g level-userdb-cli

Local, On-Disk Usage

To operate against a local, on-disk level-userdb database supply the -d [path to database] flag. Note that only a single application can access a LevelDB database at a time, so this must be offline. To access an online database, consider using level-userdb-server.

Remote Network Usage

To connect to a remote level-userdb-server instance, supply the -r host:port flag. For example:

level-userdb-cli -r localhost:9998 -e [email protected] retrieve
