BARMAN-CONFIG-SWITCH(1)

💖 barman-config-switch(1) — the Barman Sub-Commands glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to barman-config-switch, one of the Barman sub-commands, and it is genuinely one of the most satisfying little tools ever. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

config-switch
    [ { -h | --help } ]
    SERVER_NAME { --reset | MODEL_NAME }

that's the whole vibe. server name, then EITHER --reset OR a model name. no third option, she's decisive 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: config-switch takes a whole set of configuration overrides from a model and applies them to a server in Barman. the final configuration? it combines the server's existing settings with the ones in the model, or overrides them — depends on what the model says. it's giving "glow up but make it config" ✨

and if you ever want to go back to how things were, you can reset the server configurations with the --reset argument. undoing is self care, fr fr 💖

Note: only one model can be active at a time for a given server. one model, one moment, main character energy 👑

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• SERVER_NAME — the name of the server in the barman node. yes, the actual name, spelled right, no typos bestie 😭
• MODEL_NAME — the name of the model. that's the one whose overrides are getting applied 🦋
• -h / --help — shows a help message and exits. it's there to tell you all about how to use the command, so if you're lost, just ask her 💅
• --reset — resets the server's configurations. back to factory settings, we love a clean slate 🌸
