💖 incus-config-edit 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the Incus - Command line client manual, and it's a good one. get comfy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

incus-config-edit — edit instance or server configurations as YAML, fr fr 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

incus config edit [:][[/]] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the actual description, word for word, because I don't make up facts, I only make up vibes:

Edit instance or server configurations as YAML

that's it. that's the whole job. you point it at a config, it hands you YAML, you edit it, it slays. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --target="" — Cluster member name — yes those backticks are literally in the source, I'm not gonna gaslight you, I'm just reporting what's there. it says cluster member name, that's the info, mwah 🫶

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these aren't even hers, she inherited them, iconic honestly:

  • --debug [=false] — show ALL the debug messages, every single one 🐛
  • --explain [=false] — and this one?? if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. like a little dress rehearsal, no cap 🎭
  • --force-local [=false] — force using the local unix socket 🔌
  • -h, --help [=false] — print help, bestie's bestie 🆘
  • --project="" — override the source project 📁
  • -q, --quiet [=false] — don't show progress information, silent mode, stealth mode, ninja mode 🥷
  • --sub-commands [=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🪜
  • -v, --verbose [=false] — show all information messages, she's a talker 💬
  • --version [=false] — print version number 🔢

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the demonstration:

incus config edit <instance> < instance.yaml
    Update the instance configuration from instance.yaml.

so you're piping an instance.yaml in, and it updates the instance configuration from instance.yaml. it's giving input redirection ate. 🍓
