💖 incus-cluster-enable — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, and we're about to make you the main character of your very own cluster. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

incus-cluster-enable — turn a single, lonely, non-clustered server into a cluster. glow-up arc, fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus cluster enable [:]  [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically the description is: Enable clustering on a single non-clustered server ✨

This command turns a non-clustered server into the first member of a brand new cluster, and that cluster gets the name you give it. icon behaviour, honestly. she's not joining a group chat, she's founding one 👑

But listen — there is a requirement and I need you to hear me on this one. The server has to already be available on the network. It's giving "you can't sit with us until you're reachable." You can vibe check that by running:

incus config get core.https_address

and if there's no value there yet, you might need to set one for the address. don't skip this step bestie, the cluster cannot find a server that isn't on the network. it's literally just vibes and IP addresses at that point 💅

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these are the options she inherited from her parent commands. nepo baby? maybe. useful? absolutely. periodt.

  • --debug[=false] — show ALL the debug messages. every last one. she's oversharing and that's okay 🫶
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. like a dress rehearsal before the real performance, slay ✨
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. do it the local way, no questions asked 💀
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the icon. the one you should've run first 🙈
  • --project="" — override the source project. note the default is an empty string, so if you want something here you gotta say something 💬
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. no updates, just results. mysterious and lowkey 🔥
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view sub-commands. little peek behind the curtain 👀
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. tell me EVERYTHING, I'm invested 🌸
  • --version[=false] — print version number. who are you? what year is it? 💖
