🌸 INCUS-STORAGE-CREATE — bestie edition 🌸

okay so real talk, this page is from the Incus command line client manual (section 1, Incus - Command line client(1)), and it's here to teach you how to make storage pools. yes, the actual pool. no floaties required. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

incus-storage-create — create storage pools 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

incus storage create [:]  [=...] [flags]

like. that's the whole vibe. [:] and [=...] and then your [flags] besties trailing behind. 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

Description: create storage pools.

that's it. that's the entire job. you run it, a pool exists, you're iconic. 🌊

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --description="" — the storage pool description 💌
  • --target="" — the cluster member name 📍

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the flags you got from the parent command, so they ride along by default, no cap:

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages, every last crumb of them 🐛
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it 👀 (yes, she narrates her own decisions)
  • --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 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌿
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages 📢
  • --version[=false] — print version number 🏷️

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

slay, here's how the girlies actually do it:

incus storage create s1 dir
    Create a storage pool s1
incus storage create s1 dir < config.yaml
    Create a storage pool s1 using the content of config.yaml

first one: pool s1, driver dir, done. second one: same but you pipe in config.yaml so the config comes from the file instead. both ate. 🔥

💀 lowkey important heads up: this whole page was auto generated by spf13/cobra, so if something looks a little copy-pasted from a struct tag, that's why. not me defending it, just explaining the vibe.

okay bye bestie, go create some pools, you're the main character of this cluster 🦋✨
