NAME

   doveadm-instance - Manage the list of running Dovecot instances

SYNOPSIS

   doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] instance list
   doveadm [-Dv] instance remove name | base_dir

DESCRIPTION

   The  doveadm  instance  commands are used to manage the list of Dovecot
   instances running on the server.  In most installations there  is  only
   one  Dovecot  instance, but in some cases is may be useful to have more
   (e.g. running director proxy and backend in the same server).

   Instances are added to the list automatically when Dovecot is  started.
   Each   instance   is  uniquely  identified  by  its  base_dir  setting.
   Instances can be named by  setting  instance_name  in  each  instance's
   dovecot.conf.   When an instance is named, it can be accessed easily by
   giving -i instance_name command line  parameter  for  Dovecot  binaries
   (e.g. doveadm).

OPTIONS

   Global doveadm(1) options:

   -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

   -f formatter
          Specifies  the  formatter  for formatting the output.  Supported
          formatters are:

          flow   prints each line with key=value pairs.

          pager  prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates
                 records with form feed character (^L).

          tab    prints  a  table  header  followed by tab separated value
                 lines.

          table  prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

   -o setting=value
          Overrides       the       configuration       setting       from
          /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf  and  from  the  userdb with the given
          value.  In order to override multiple settings,  the  -o  option
          may be specified multiple times.

   -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
