chisel: Run a Chisel server listening to a specific port.
$ chisel server -p ${server_port}
try on your machine

The command "chisel server -p ${server_port}" is used to start a Chisel server on a specified server port.

Explanation:

  • "chisel" is the name of the command-line tool used for creating and managing secure tunnels.
  • "server" is a subcommand that starts the Chisel server mode.
  • "-p" is a flag used to specify the port on which the server will listen.
  • "${server_port}" is a placeholder for the actual port number. The value of the variable "server_port" will be substituted at runtime.

For example, if the value of "server_port" is 8000, the command "chisel server -p 8000" will start the Chisel server on port 8000. This server can then be used to receive and handle incoming tunnel connections.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
