+**Date:** 2021-12-09
+ +# Summary +Make server configuration more robust and dynamically updatable without restart. + +# Description +All server configurations are currently done via command-line arguments. This +may be OK for settings that last through a log's entire lifetime. However, it +is inappropriate for parameters like `--witnesses` which are not static. + +Reading a configuration file at start and when receiving, say, SIGHUP, is an +alternative. Implementing a "control port", typically via a TCP endpoint, where +an administrator can "program" the log instance is another alternative. + +This issue requires some design considerations before getting started. It would +be good to improve documentation on how to run sigsum-log-go at the same time. -- cgit v1.2.3
