✨ incus-profile-device-add — okay bestie, let's add some instance devices 💅

It's a page from Incus - Command line client(1), and it's lowkey one of the most useful little commands in the whole profile toolkit, so buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME

incus-profile-device-add — Add instance devices 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS

incus profile device add [:]   [=...] [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION

Description:

Add instance devices 🫶

That's the whole vibe. You're bolting a device onto a profile, and every instance using that profile inherits it. Iconic behaviour, no cap.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

These aren't even this command's own flags, they're handed down from the parent command, and they still slay:

  • --debug[=false] — shows you all the debug messages. Everything. The whole diary. 🙈
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running anything. Very "read the recipe before you cook" energy. 👑
  • --force-local[=false] — forces using the local unix socket. No remote side quests. 🔥
  • -h, --help[=false] — prints help. The classic. 💜
  • --project="" — overrides the source project.
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. Peace and quiet, we love to see it. 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use alongside help or --help to see the sub-commands. 🧚
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — shows all the information messages. Chatty. Obsessed. 💖
  • --version[=false] — prints the version number. ⭐

🌈 EXAMPLE

  incus profile device add [<remote>:]profile1 <device-name> disk source=/share/c1 path=/opt
      Will mount the host's /share/c1 onto /opt in the instance.

  incus profile device add [<remote>:]profile1 <device-name> disk pool=some-pool source=some-volume path=/opt
      Will mount the some-volume volume on some-pool onto /opt in the instance.

So the first one mounts the host's /share/c1 onto /opt in the instance, and the second one mounts the some-volume volume on some-pool onto /opt in the instance. Same destination, different source situation — pick your fighter. 🥊
