💅 DISNIX-COLLECT-GARBAGE(1) — User Commands, bestie ✨

okay so this is the manual page for disnix-collect-garbage, and yes it's a User Commands girly through and through 🎀 pull up a chair, we're cleaning house.

🌸 NAME 🌸

disnix-collect-garbage — deletes garbage from a whole network of machines. like, the digital kind of garbage, not the "your ex's playlist" kind 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

disnix-collect-garbage [OPTION] infrastructure_nix

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one infrastructure_nix and some options, and you're off 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so disnix-collect-garbage goes ahead and collects all the garbage from all the machines that are defined in an infrastructure Nix expression. every single one. no cap. 🧹✨

and if that wasn't enough, it optionally removes all the older profiles too — that part's opt-in, we'll get to it 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -d, --delete-old — removes all the old Nix profile generations. the glow-up/cleanse of options fr fr 💅
  • --interface=INTERFACE — the path to the executable that talks to a Disnix interface. defaults to disnix-ssh-client, which is lowkey the main character here 🌟
  • --target-property=PROP — the target property of an infrastructure model, i.e. the thing that specifies how to connect to the remote Disnix interface. defaults to: hostname 🏠
  • --xml — says "hey bestie, the configurations are in XML, not the Nix expression language" 📄✨
  • -h, --help — shows you how to use this command. we love a self-aware icon 🫶
  • -v, --version — shows the version of this command. flex that number, periodt 💁‍♀️

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DISNIX_CLIENT_INTERFACE — sets the client interface (which defaults to disnix-ssh-client). same energy as --interface, just via the environment 💜
  • DISNIX_TARGET_PROPERTY — specifies which property in the infrastructure Nix expression says how to connect to the remote interface (defaults to: hostname). yeah, it's the environment twin of --target-property 🦋
