💖 INCUS.IMAGE.COPY(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Incus command line client manual — specifically the part about moving images around. pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

incus-image-copy — copy images between servers. literally that's it, that's the whole vibe. moving pics from one server to another, slay 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus image copy [:] [:] [flags]

yes the placeholders are giving cryptic. iykyk. you're passing a source and a destination and then whatever flags you're feeling 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Description: Copy images between servers. fr fr, that's the job. it copies images. between servers. iconic behavior 👑

now here's the tea on the auto-update thing 🍵 — the auto-update flag tells the server to keep this image up to date. sounds great right? BUT. it requires the source to be an alias, and it also requires that source to be public. no alias, no public, no auto-update. that's the rule, no cap ⚠️

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here's the whole menu, and yes we're listing every single one because we don't skip courses in this household 🫶

  • --alias=[] — new aliases to add to the image. plural energy, add as many as you want ✨
  • --auto-update[=false] — keep the image up to date after the initial copy. remember: needs an alias source and needs it public, as discussed above 🔥
  • --copy-aliases[=false] — copy the aliases from the source. bring the whole friend group along 💖
  • --mode="pull" — the transfer mode. it's one of pull, push or relay. default is pull 🌈
  • -p, --profile=[] — the profile to apply to the new image. a whole list, go wild 🎀
  • --public[=false] — make the image public. everyone can see her now, main character energy 👑
  • --reuse[=false] — if an alias already exists, delete it and recreate it. bold. decisive. we love a clean slate 💅
  • --target-project="" — copy to a project that's different from the source. moving out, new apartment, fresh start 🦋
  • --vm[=false] — copy virtual machine images 🖥️

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones come from the parent command, they're like the family heirlooms 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. chaos mode, we're reading everything 🔍
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. it's giving "read the recipe before you cook" 📖
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. no remote nonsense, we're staying home 🏠
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. your bestie when you're lost 🙈
  • --project="" — override the source project. (source specifically!! not target, don't get it twisted) 💀
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silent but deadly, respect 💜
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view sub-commands. peek behind the curtain 🎭
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. tell me EVERYTHING 🗣️
  • --version[=false] — print the version number ⭐
