NAME
       doveadm-instance - Manage the list of running Dovecot instances

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] instance list [-c] [name]

       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] instance remove name

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 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 in-
       stance_name command line parameter for Dovecot binaries (e.g. doveadm).

GLOBAL OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1)

       -D

           Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -O

           Do not read any config file, just use defaults.  The  dovecot_stor-
           age_version  setting  defaults  to  the  latest version, but can be
           overridden with

       -k

           Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not  just  import_environ-
           ment setting.

       -v

           Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       -i instance-name

           If  using  multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based
           on this instance name.

           See instance_name setting for more information.

       -c config-file

           Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it  first
           reads  config  socket,  and  then  falls back to /etc/dovecot/dove-
           cot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance
           running compatible version.

       -o setting=value

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

       -f formatter

           Specifies  the  formatter for formatting the output. Supported for-
           matters 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.

ARGUMENTS
       name

           The value of an instance's instance_name setting. Each instance can
           also be uniquely identified by its base_dir setting.
