NAME
    gcloud alpha emulators firestore start - start a local Firestore emulator

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha emulators firestore start [--host-port=HOST_PORT]
        [--rules=RULES] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) This command starts a local Firestore emulator.

EXAMPLES
    To start the local Firestore emulator, run:

        $ gcloud alpha emulators firestore start

    To bind to a specific host and port, run:

        $ gcloud alpha emulators firestore start --host-port=0.0.0.0:8080

    To run the local Firestore emulator with a Firebase Rules set, run:

        $ gcloud alpha emulators firestore start --rules=firestore.rules

FLAGS
     --host-port=HOST_PORT
        The host:port to which the emulator should be bound. Can take the form
        of a single address (hostname, IPv4, or IPv6) and/or port:

            [ADDRESS][:PORT]

        In this format you must enclose IPv6 addresses in square brackets: e.g.

            [2001:db8:0:0:0:ff00:42:8329]:8080

        The default value is localhost:8080.

     --rules=RULES
        If set, all projects will use the security rules in this file. More
        information on Firebase Rules and the syntax for this file is available
        at https://firebase.google.com/docs/rules.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud emulators firestore start

        $ gcloud beta emulators firestore start
