INCUS.CONSOLE(1)

✨ incus-console — like, the little doorway into ur instance's soul ✨

okay bestie, we're in the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, and this one is genuinely so fun. it's incus-console, and its whole job is: attach to instance consoles. that's it. that's the girl. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

incus-console — attach to instance consoles 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

incus console [<remote>:]<instance> [flags]

(that <remote>: bit is literally in there, don't skip it, it's giving you can pick which remote you're talking to energy ✨)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description: attach to instance consoles 💖

so what does that mean fr fr? this command lets you interact with the boot console of an instance, and ALSO retrieve past log entries from it. two moods, one command. main character energy, no cap.

like, you show up, you vibe with the boot console live, or you just scroll the receipts from before. both count. 🔥

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -f, --force[=false] — forces a connection to the console, even if there is already an active session. like, yes bestie, i know someone's already in there, i'm going in anyway. 💀
• --show-log[=false] — retrieve the instance's console log. the receipts. the lore. 📜
• -t, --type="<type>" — the type of connection to establish: 'console' for the serial console, 'vga' for SPICE graphical output. default is "console", naturally. 🖥️

heads up girly: --force is doing exactly what it says. if there's already a session, you're stomping in. know that before you type it. 👑

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these ones aren't even incus console's own — they're inherited from the parent command, aka they come with the whole incus family. still yours to use tho:

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every last crumb. 🐛
• --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. it's like the command explaining itself to you before doing anything. so considerate. 🎤
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. stay local, stay cozy. 🏠
• -h, --help[=false] — print help. our beloved. 🫶
• --project="" — override the source project. 🗂️
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence. peace. 🧘
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. 🌳
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the tea, but verbose. ☕
• --version[=false] — print version number. 📌
