✨ NAME ✨

incus-agent β€” the Incus virtual machine guest agent πŸ’«


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

πŸŽ€ Description:

Incus virtual machine agent, periodt. that's the whole vibe.

ok so real talk: this daemon is meant to be run inside virtual machines that are managed by Incus. it doesn't live on your host, bestie β€” it lives in the VM, doing its little agent things. 🧚

and like, you don't usually call it yourself. it's normally started through init scripts that are either already present in the virtual machine, or injected into it. so it just kinda wakes up on its own and handles things. main character energy, fr fr. πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ Usage:

incus-agent [--debug] [flags]

πŸ’… Flags:

  • -d, --debug β€” show ALL the debug messages. every single one. no crumbs left behind. πŸ‘€
  • -h, --help β€” print the help. your "wait what do I do" bestie. 🫢
  • -s, --secrets-location string β€” the secrets location of the certificate and private key πŸ” (yes, string, it wants a path bestie, not a vibe)
  • -v, --verbose β€” show all the information messages. not the debug ones, just the info ones. it's giving "medium yap". πŸ’¬
  • --version β€” print the version number. for when you need to know exactly which one you're dealing with. ⭐
quick reminder: -s takes a string value, so it's -s <something>, not just -s alone and vibing. 🌈
