openqa-dump-templates(1)

✨ openqa-dump-templates(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the openQA Documentation and it's literally called openQA dump-templates — yes, the command is openqa-dump-templates, and no, it's not as scary as it sounds, i promise 🫶

---

💅 NAME 💅

openqa-dump-templates — dump openQA templates, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

openqa-dump-templates [OPTIONS] [TABLES...]

like, options first, then whichever tables you're feeling today ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --host HOST — connect to the host you specify. if you don't say anything, it just defaults to localhost (home sweet home 🏠).
• --apibase — set the API base URL component. the default is /api/v1, no notes 💅
• --apikey KEY, --apisecret SECRET — give it your api key and secret to use. this overrides using the config file ~/.config/openqa/client.conf and the environment variable "OPENQA_API_KEY". ⚠️ but listen — using this is discouraged because there's a risk of leaking your credentials. so like, be careful, bestie, fr.
• --group GROUP — dump only the job group you name, nothing else 👑
• --test NAME — dump only the testsuite with that name.
• --machine NAME — dump only the machine with that name.
• --product NAME — dump only the product with that name.
• --full — when you're dumping a specific job group, this also dumps the related test suites, products and machines. it's giving "the whole friend group showed up" 😭
• --json — dump as json.
• --convert — convert legacy non-YAML job groups to modern YAML.

dump as json

• --help, -h — print help. classic.

---

🦋 TABLES 🦋

these are the tables you can name on the command line, iconic lineup tbh:

• Machines
• TestSuites
• Products
• JobTemplates
• JobGroups

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

(again, but make it examples 💖)

openqa-dump-templates --host openqa.example.com Products
openqa-dump-templates --host openqa.example.com --group "openSUSE
Tumbleweed" --full
openqa-dump-templates --host openqa.example.com --test "gnome"
openqa-dump-templates --host openqa.example.com --machine "64bit"

look at that second one wrapping onto two lines — that group name "openSUSE Tumbleweed" is long and it's thriving 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

dump openQA database tables for Machines, TestSuites, Products, JobTemplates — for example so you can load them onto another instance. it's basically packing a lil suitcase for your data and moving it somewhere new 🧳✨

---

ngl, every flag, table name, default value, path and example above is exactly as it appears in the original — i did not touch a single character of the literal stuff, i just gave it a wardrobe change 💅

---

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, go dump some templates 🍓

this beauty is from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-09-10, and it's the openqa-dump-templates(1) manual — mwah, bye bestie 🎀💖
