💅 debspawn-maintain — it's giving "main character of maintenance"

okay so bestie, this is debspawn-maintain(1), a page from the debspawn maintain manual, and it's literally your one-stop glow-up shop for keeping debspawn in shape 🧚✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

debspawn-maintain — run various maintenance actions

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

debspawn maintain [-h|--help] [-y|--yes] [--migrate] [--update-all]
                  [--clear-caches] [--purge] [--status]

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So basically, this subcommand does various maintenance actions on debspawn. The things it lets you do? They hit the generic settings of debspawn, or all of its container images at once — no picking favourites, it's everybody or nobody. 💖

It can also just… show you general, useful information about your system and your debspawn installation, which is lowkey the move when you're trying to figure out what's broken. Setup issues, we're coming for you. 🔍

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Wanna update all the container images debspawn knows about, in one single go? Say less:

$ debspawn maintain --update-all

And if you want the tea on your current debspawn installation — which, side note, is super useful when you're reporting an issue against it — --status prints a status summary and highlights issues for you:

$ debspawn maintain --status

Also you can clear all caches for all images to free up disk space, because your disk said "I'm full" and meant it. Don't stress though: missing data will be downloaded or regenerated again when it is needed. 💅

$ debspawn maintain --clear-caches

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h|--help — prints brief help info about the available commands. Your little map. 🗺️
  • -y|--yes — does the dangerous actions without asking twice. Bold. Iconic. Slightly terrifying. 🙈
  • --migrate — migrates any settings or config changes over to the current version of debspawn. Out with the old, in with the new. ✨
  • --update-all — updates all the container images that we know. Every single one. 👑
  • --clear-caches — deletes all cached packages for all images. Bye, disk bloat. 🦋
  • --purge — removes all images as well as any data associated with them. Like, gone gone. 😭
  • --status — displays a status summary about this installation and highlights potential issues. The vibe check. 💜
