DISNIX-COPY-SNAPSHOTS(1)

💅 disnix-copy-snapshots(1) — the disnix girlie's guide 💅

okay so bestie, this is the disnix-copy-snapshots manual page (from the disnix family, user commands section) and it's literally here to help you move snapshots around between machines. sit down, grab a 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

disnix-copy-snapshots — copy a set of snapshots from or to a remote machine through a Disnix interface 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

disnix-copy-snapshots [OPTION] --from --target TARGET -c CONTAINER -C COMPONENT
disnix-copy-snapshots [OPTION] --to --target TARGET -c CONTAINER -C COMPONENT

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way that this works: the command disnix-copy-snapshots transfers the logical state of a component — and that state is typically represented as snapshots in a consistent and portable format, periodt — from and to a remote machine, and it does it through a Disnix interface. that component is residing in a container, just so we're clear. slay. 🔥

ngl the whole vibe is: state goes in, state comes out, nobody loses their data. iconic behavior only.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --to — copy snapshots to the given target 🫶
• --from — copy snapshots from the given target (yes it's the other direction, iykyk)
• -t, --target=TARGET — the address of the Disnix service running on the remote machine, like where your bestie lives but for services 📍
• -c, --container=CONTAINER — name of the container in which the mutable component is deployed 🎀
• -C, --component=COMPONENT — name of the mutable component to take snapshots from, the main character of this whole operation 👑
• --all — transfer all snapshot generations instead of the latest only. like bringing your whole closet instead of just the outfit ✨
• --interface=INTERFACE — path to executable that communicates with a Disnix interface. defaults to: disnix-ssh-client 💅
• -h, --help — shows the usage of this command to the user (we love a helpful icon)
• -v, --version — shows the version of this command to the user ⭐

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

• DISNIX_CLIENT_INTERFACE — sets the client interface (defaults to: disnix-ssh-client). basically the vibe-check knob for which interface you're talking through 🦋
• DYSNOMIA_STATEDIR — specifies where the snapshots must be stored on the coordinator machine (defaults to: /var/state/dysnomia). this is where the lore gets kept 🗂️

fr fr set these if you want a different setup than the default, otherwise the defaults are doing their thing and they ate 💀
