Configure a REST API node

A subset of the node configuration can be used to modify the behaviour of the HTTP REST API.

These are the relevant command line options:

CLI option	Description	Default value
--rest	Enable Waku REST HTTP server.	false
--rest-address	Listening address of the REST HTTP server.	127.0.0.1
--rest-port	Listening port of the REST HTTP server.	8645
--rest-relay-cache-capacity	Capacity of the Relay REST API message cache.	30
--rest-admin	Enable access to REST HTTP Admin API.	false
--rest-private	Enable access to REST HTTP Private API.	false

Note that these command line options have their counterpart option in the node configuration file.

Example:

wakunode2 --rest=true
