💖 NAME 💖

incus-rebuild — rebuild instances, bestie. like, wipe it and give it a whole new life ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus rebuild (--empty|[:]) [:] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🫖 — this command wipes the instance root disk and then re-initializes it with a new image (or, if you're feeling minimalist, an empty volume). it's giving factory reset but make it glam 💅

no cap, it's a full glow-up: out with the old root disk, in with the fresh one 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --empty[=false] — rebuild it as an empty instance. no image, no crumbs, just vibes 🫙
  • -f, --force[=false] — if the instance is currently running, it gets stopped first and then rebuilt. so if it's awake, we're putting it to sleep, no negotiation 😴💀

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones are hand-me-downs from the parent command, and honestly? they ate 🍽️

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. everything. the whole firehose 🐛
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. like a vibe check before the vibe happens 🔍
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 🧦
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the icon 🎀
  • --project="" — override the source project 🌈
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silent but slaying 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌿
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. give me every single detail fr fr 📢
  • --version[=false] — print version number 🔢

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

  • 24-Sep-2026 — auto generated by spf13/cobra. not us being mysterious, the robots did it 🤖
friendly reminder: --empty and -f/--force are both [=false] by default, meaning they're off until you say the word. and hey — if an instance is running, --force is the thing that stops it and then rebuilds it. no force, no touchy 🚫

and that's the whole page babes 🎀 this one came straight from the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, Sep 2026 era, and yeah — auto generated by spf13/cobra, so technically the robots wrote it, but we made it cute 💖
