🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

glance-cache-pruner [options]

that's it, that's the whole thing, she's lowkey simple 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea, bestie: this little icon 👑

glance-cache-pruner prunes images from the Glance cache whenever the space being used goes over the value you set in the image_cache_max_size configuration option. like, the cache gets too full, she declutters. main character energy fr fr.

and the way you're supposed to run her? as a periodic task — the manpage literally suggests maybe every half-hour. so like, set her on a lil schedule and let her cook. no cap. ⏰✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🌸 General options 🌸

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message and then dips out. bye bestie 👋
  • --version — prints the version number and exits. identity check, sorta 💖
  • -v, --verbose — prints more verbose output. she's chatty today 🗣️
  • --noverbose — disables verbose output. she's giving peace and quiet 🤫
  • -d, --debug — prints debugging output — this sets the logging level to DEBUG instead of the default WARNING level. all the lore, unlocked 🔍
  • --nodebug — disables debugging output. closing the lore book 📕
  • --use-syslog — uses syslog for logging 🪵
  • --nouse-syslog — disables the use of syslog for logging 🚫
  • --syslog-log-facility SYSLOG_LOG_FACILITY — the syslog facility that receives the log lines 🏠
  • --config-dir DIR — path to a config directory to pull *.conf files from. this file set is sorted, so you get a predictable parse order in case individual options get over-ridden. the set is parsed after the file(s) you specified via earlier --config-file arguments, which means over-ridden options inside the directory take precedence. translation: config from files in a specified config-dir will always take precedence over config from files specified by --config-file, no matter what order the arguments came in. so argument order? doesn't matter, bestie, she decided already 👑
  • --config-file PATH — path to a config file to use. you can stack multiple config files by using this flag multiple times, like --config-file <file1> --config-file <file2>. values in the latter files take precedence. last one standing wins 🏆
  • --log-config-append PATH --log-config PATH — the name of the logging configuration file. heads up: it does not disable existing loggers — it just appends the specified logging configuration to any other existing logging options. peep the Python logging module documentation for the details on logging configuration files 👀. also the log-config name for this option is deprecated. we said what we said 💀
  • --log-format FORMAT — a logging.Formatter log message format string, and it can use any of the available logging.LogRecord attributes. Default: None ✨
  • --log-date-format DATE_FORMAT — format string for %(asctime)s in log records. Default: None 📅
  • --log-file PATH, --logfile PATH — (optional) name of the log file to output to. if it's not set, logging goes to stdout. no file, no problem 🫶
  • --log-dir LOG_DIR, --logdir LOG_DIR — (optional) the directory to keep log files in — this gets prepended to --log-file. yes, prepended. remember that 🎯

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/glance/glance-cache.conf — the default configuration file for the Glance Cache. she lives here 💖🏠
