✨ INCUS.ADMIN(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to incus-admin — this is the incus command line client manual, and this particular page is all about managing the incus daemon 💅 the whole thing lives inside the incus command line client manual (section 1), so like, you're already in the right place 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

incus-admin — manage the incus daemon 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

incus admin [flags]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Manage incus daemon ✨ that's the whole vibe. this is your entry point for poking at the daemon directly, and all the spicy sub-commands hang off of it (see the SEE ALSO at the bottom, they're all literally right there 😌).

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these aren't even incus admin's own flags, they're the ones it inherited from the parent command — so they work here too, and you get them for free, no cap 🎁

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages 🔍 every last one.
• --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it 🧠 so you can see what it would have done without actually doing it.
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 🧦 no remote detours.
• -h, --help[=false] — print help 🙋‍♀️ the classic.
• --project="" — override the source project 🌈 (yes, the default is the empty string "").
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information 🤫 silence is golden tbh.
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌳 it's giving "show me the family tree".
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages 📢 the opposite of --quiet, bestie.
• --version[=false] — print version number 🏷️ gotta know what you're running.
