INCUS.STORAGE.BUCKET.KEY.CREATE(1)

✨ incus-storage-bucket-key-create ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the incus-storage-bucket-key-create page — this is part of the Incus command line client manual, and she's here to help you spin up a fresh key for a storage bucket 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

incus-storage-bucket-key-create — create a key for a storage bucket 🔑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

incus storage bucket key create [:]   [flags]

that [:] bit? it's literally sitting right there in the synopsis, so we're keeping it exactly as-is, no edits, no notes 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the description is iconic and also extremely on the nose:

create key for a storage bucket. that's it. that's the whole job. she makes keys, for buckets, in storage. periodt ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --access-key="" — the access key. if you leave it empty, it gets auto-generated for you (yes queen, it does the work so you don't have to) 💫
• --description="" — a lil description for the key, so future-you knows what this key was even for 🙈
• --role="read-only" — the role. your choices are admin or read-only. the default is literally read-only, so if you don't say anything, she's being safe about it. main character energy with boundaries 💅
• --secret-key="" — the secret key. leave it empty and it gets auto-generated too. slay 🌈
• --target="" — cluster member name. use it if you're pointing at a specific member of the cluster 🦋

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these are the family options, passed down from the parent commands. they're not unique to this one, but they're still here, still valid, still serving ✨

• --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. everything. all of it. no cap 🐛
• --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. it's giving "tell me what you would do" 🫶
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 📍
• -h, --help[=false] — print help 💜
• --project="" — override the source project`` 🙈
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. shhh. silence. peace. 🤫
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🔍
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the opposite of quiet, she's chatty 💬
• --version[=false] — print version number ⭐

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

lowkey the examples are the best part, look at her go

incus storage bucket key create p1 b01 k1
     Create a key called k1 for the bucket b01 in the pool p1.

incus storage bucket key create p1 b01 k1 < config.yaml
     Create a key called k1 for the bucket b01 in the pool p1 using the content of config.yaml.

so: first one just makes the key. second one pipes config.yaml in through stdin to make the key. both ate, honestly 💅
