chainctl auth configure-refresh-service install

Install a background service for automatic token refresh

Synopsis

Install (or update) a user-level service that refreshes Chainguard tokens in the background.

By default the service refreshes every cached token: the audiences to refresh are discovered by scanning the local token cache on each refresh cycle, so tokens created later are picked up without restarting the service.

With –audience, the service refreshes only the given audiences instead.

Rerunning install updates the existing service in place.
