envoy-server 1.38.2

A Python wheel distribution of the Envoy server

envoy-server

A Python package containing a runnable Envoy command.

On platforms supported natively by Envoy, typically glibc Linux or macOS on arm64, the package embeds the Envoy binary itself and runs it directly. On other platforms such as Windows, it runs the official Envoy docker image - Docker must be installed to run. The Docker fallback is primarily meant for non-production usage, for example when your project runs Envoy on Linux in production but should still be runnable on a Windows developer machine.

Note, this package is for Python users. If you're not already using Python, you may want to try func-e instead.

Usage

uv add envoy-server # or pip install

The package defines a script named envoy which will be available on the PATH as normal and can then be run as you need.

uv run envoy --version # or just envoy if in the system Python or an activated virtualenv

If you just want to run Envoy on a machine with uv (or pipx, etc) available without a project to add to, you can.

uvx --from envoy-server envoy --version

The path to the actual Envoy binary can be found with get_envoy_path. Note, this will not be available on Windows or other unsupported Envoy platforms and looking up envoy on PATH is recommended when supporting such platforms.

import subprocess

from envoy import get_envoy_path

subprocess.run([get_envoy_path(), "--version"], check=True)
