✨ DEBSPAWN-LOGIN ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for debspawn login — the lil' command from Debspawn that yeets you straight into a container and hands you a shell 🫶 it's filed under section 1, and it's giving "let me in, let me iiiin" energy. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

debspawn-login — open an interactive shell session in a container 🐚✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

debspawn login [-h|--help] [--variant] [-a|--arch] [--suite]
               [--persistent] [--allow] [--boot] {NAME}

like… look at her. all those flags lined up like a fit check. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this command drops you into an interactive shell session inside a container — and not just any container, specifically one that's normally used for building 🔨

why would you even want that, you ask? because:

  • you can inspect the build environment and see what's actually going on in there 👀
  • you can manually customize the container image for special applications — but ONLY if the --persistent flag is set, otherwise your changes ghost you 😭

periodt. that's the whole vibe.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • NAME — the name of the container image (usually it's just a distribution suite name, iykyk). this one's the main character, she's required. 💜
  • -h, --help — prints a brief lil' help thing about all the available commands. your "wait what was that flag again" bestie 🫶
  • --variant — sets the variant of the selected image, the one that was used for bootstrapping. lowkey important, don't skip her. 🎀
  • -a, --arch — the architecture of the base image that should be selected. pick your fighter 🥊
  • --suite — explicitly set a suite name, instead of letting it be derived from the container name. sometimes you just gotta spell it out for them 💅
  • --persistent — makes changes done in the session persistent 🔥 this is THE one to remember: no --persistent, no saved changes. that's it, that's the deal.
  • --allow — list one or more additional permissions to grant the container. takes a comma-separated list of capability names. yes, commas. no spaces needed, she's low-maintenance. ✨
  • --boot — boot the container image (this requires the image to actually contain an init system, so no init = no boot, sorry babe 🙈).
