🦋 exo(1) — the exo manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is the exo man page (manual name: exo, section 1, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving "small page, big slay." we're specifically looking at exo-dns-add-CNAME today. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

exo-dns-add-CNAME — the lil' command that adds a CNAME record type to a domain. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

exo dns add CNAME DOMAIN-NAME|ID [flags]

so you're literally calling exo, then dns, then add, then CNAME, then you gotta hand it a DOMAIN-NAME|ID (either the name or the ID works, queen's choice 👑), and then whatever [flags] you feel like sprinkling on top 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: you add a "CNAME" record that aliases a subdomain to another host. that's the whole job. these types of records are used when a server is reached by several names — one server, many names, main character energy honestly 🔥

⚠️ real talk though: only use CNAME records on subdomains. that's not a suggestion, bestie, that's the rule 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -a, --alias="" — the alias, duh. example: some-other-site.com 🌈
  • -h, --help[=false] — shows help for CNAME. yes, help for the CNAME subcommand specifically, not the whole world 💅
  • -n, --name="" — the name. plot twist: you may use the * wildcard here ⭐ (wildcard girlies rise)
  • -t, --ttl=3600 — the time in seconds to live (that's the refresh rate, babe) of the record. default is 3600, no cap 🕐

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these aren't even CNAME's own flags, they're heirlooms from the parent commands. still iconic though 💜

  • -C, --config="" — specify an alternate config file [env EXOSCALE_CONFIG] 🍓
  • -O, --output-format="" — output format, and your choices are table|json|text. see exo output --help for more info, fr fr
  • --output-template="" — the template to use if your output format is "text" 🎀
  • -Q, --quiet[=false] — quiet mode, aka disable non-essential command output (shhh 🤫)
  • --timeout=15s — per-zone timeout for list operations. and yes, -1s disables the timeout entirely [env EXOSCALE_TIMEOUT] ⏳
  • -A, --use-account="" — the account to use in the config file [env EXOSCALE_ACCOUNT] 👑
