Please document how to specify --config path in the plist file #225

I'd like to move the emailproxy.config to a ~/.config/email-oauth2-proxy/emailproxy.config location. Can you please document what flags and arguments can be put in the plist file?

simonrob commented 7 months ago

The .plist file just contains the commands to run the proxy, so the documentation is the same as that already given in the readme.

If you deselect then re-select the Start at login option when running with the preferred config file path, the .plist file should be updated automatically for you.

If you meant documentation about the format of the file itself, see Apple's articles, or try a tool like Launch Control.

So basically, whatever command line arguments you specify to run the command will be written into the plist file?

Easy! Thanks. Close the issue, nothing to see here.

(for completeness, what the configuration looks like in the .plist once you add commandline arguments.)
