-Running the server
-------------------
+Running the server on host:port
+-------------------------------
 
 Run a server with a file: backend (for a local directory), using HTTP Basic Authentication::
 
-    python3 -m borgstore.server.rest --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5618 \
-            --username user --password pass \

+        --username user --password pass \
+        --backend file:///tmp/teststore
 
 For production deployments, consider using systemd socket activation
 (see contrib/server/nginx-systemd/README.md).
 
+Running the server via stdio
+----------------------------
+
+Run a server with a file: backend (for a local directory), talking http via
+stdin/stdout, logging via stderr:

+        --backend file:///tmp/teststore

 Accessing the server from a client
 ----------------------------------
 
 The borgstore REST client can then access via::
 
     http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:5618/
 
+or (when using http over stdio):

+    rest://user@host:port//tmp/teststore  # via ssh, abs. path
