# Getting Started
To start a REST server, we need to specify the following parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
| ----------- | --------- | ----------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| chain-id | string | null | true | chain id of the full node to connect |
| node | URL | "tcp://localhost:46657" | true | address of the full node to connect |
| laddr | URL | "tcp://localhost:1317" | true | address to run the rest server on |
| trust-node | bool | "false" | true | Whether this LCD is connected to a trusted full node |
| trust-store | DIRECTORY | "$HOME/.lcd" | false | directory for save checkpoints and validator sets |
For example::
```bash
gaiacli advanced rest-server --chain-id=test \
--laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 \
--node tcp://localhost:26657 \
--trust-node=false
```
The server listens on HTTPS by default. You can set the SSL certificate to be used by the server with these additional flags:
```bash
gaiacli advanced rest-server --chain-id=test \
--laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 \
--node tcp://localhost:26657 \
--trust-node=false \
--certfile=mycert.pem --keyfile=mykey.key
```
If no certificate/keyfile pair is supplied, a self-signed certificate will be generated and its fingerprint printed out.
Append `--insecure` to the command line if you want to disable the secure layer and listen on an insecure HTTP port.
