✨ ELASTICHOSTS-UPLOAD ✨

okay bestie, so like — elastichosts-upload is the little command that yeets your disk images up into the cloud 💖 ElasticHosts to be exact, and honestly? it's giving main character energy for a one-trick pony 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

elastichosts-upload — no cap, its whole job is uploading disk images to ElasticHosts 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

elastichosts-upload [ OPTIONS ] FILENAME | BLOCK-DEVICE

so you're handing it either a FILENAME or a BLOCK-DEVICE, and you can sprinkle OPTIONS in front like accessories ✨ note that little pipe btw — it's one or the other, not both, iykyk 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -c CHUNK — sets the size of chunks, as in how much of the image gets shoved up at a time. default is 5242880 🍓
  • -d DRIVE-UUID — the UUID of an existing drive you wanna image. if you don't say anything? it just makes a brand new drive for you, king behaviour 👑
  • -n NAME — the name for the newly created drive. leave it out and it defaults to the basename of FILENAME ✨
  • -o OFFSET — byte offset from which to resume the upload. default is 0, aka start from the very beginning like a fresh start 🌈
  • -z — tells it your input image is gzipped 🫶 (yes, it needs the heads up, don't be shy)
okay genuine heads-up bestie: if you're resuming with -o, that offset is in bytes and it is not going to read your mind. get the number right or the vibe check fails 😭

mwah, that's the whole page — short, sweet, iconic. this lil cutie is elastichosts-upload 20090219, dated February 2009, and yeah it's been slaying since before some of us could walk 💀💖 bye bestie, go upload something legendary 🧚⭐
