💖 incus-admin-init — like, the manual page but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives inside the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, and today we're doing incus-admin-init. It's the glow-up ritual for your daemon. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

incus-admin-init — Configure the daemon

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus admin init [--preseed []] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Configure the daemon

like... that's the whole job. You run it, you configure the daemon. Iconic behaviour tbh 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --auto[=false] — Automatic (non-interactive) mode. She does it all by herself, no questions asked ✨
  • --dump[=false] — Dump YAML config to stdout. Just show me the YAML, no drama 💜
  • --minimal[=false] — Minimal configuration (non-interactive). The low-key, no-frills setup 🍓
  • --network-address="" — Address to bind to (default: none)
  • --network-port=-1 — Port to bind to (default: 8443)
  • --preseed[=false] — Pre-seed mode, expects YAML config from stdin. You feed her the YAML, she eats it up 😭
  • --storage-backend="" — Storage backend to use (btrfs, dir, lvm or zfs, default: dir)
  • --storage-create-device="" — Setup device based storage using DEVICE
  • --storage-create-loop=-1 — Setup loop based storage with SIZE in GiB
  • --storage-pool="" — Storage pool to use or create

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the family heirlooms, passed down from the parent command 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — Show all debug messages
  • --explain[=false] — If the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it
  • --force-local[=false] — Force using the local unix socket
  • -h, --help[=false] — Print help
  • --project="" — Override the source project
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — Don't show progress information 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — Use with help or --help to view sub-commands
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — Show all information messages
  • --version[=false] — Print version number

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

init --minimal
init --auto [--network-address=IP] [--network-port=8443] [--storage-backend=dir]
            [--storage-create-device=DEVICE] [--storage-create-loop=SIZE]
            [--storage-pool=POOL]
init --preseed [preseed.yaml]
