./SIAC-HOST-FOLDER-ADD(1)

📦 version 1.3.0, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute

💖 ./siac-host-folder-add — bestie, let's give the host somewhere to put its stuff 💖

okay so this is one of the pages from the siac manual (that's the Sia client, the one that talks to your siad node, iykyk) and it's genuinely so simple it's kind of iconic. It's the add a storage folder page. That's the whole vibe.

✨ NAME ✨

./siac-host-folder-add — Add a storage folder to the host

like. that's it. that's the job. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

./siac host folder add [path] [size]

so you're calling siac, then the host command, then folder, then add, then you hand it a path and a size and you're done. two little placeholders, both in square brackets, so the shape of the thing is literally right there. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Add a storage folder to the host, specifying how much data it should store

fr fr that's the entire description and honestly? refreshing. you point at a folder, you say how much data it should hold, the host now has somewhere to keep the goods. slay. 💅

no hidden tricks, no surprise defaults listed here, no weird caveats. the manpage is giving minimalist queen. 👑

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

okay so this page doesn't have its own options (it's a baby page, we love her), but she inherits stuff from the parent commands, so you still get:

  • -a, --addr="localhost:9980" — which host/port to communicate with (i.e. the host/port siad is listening on)

that's the one. that's the whole list. the default is localhost:9980 because that's where your siad is chilling by default, and you only change it if your node is somewhere else. main character energy for one single flag, honestly. ✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

  • ./siac-host-folder(1) — the folder page, the parent, the whole reason this page exists 🫶

go read that one too, bestie, it's the bigger picture.

ngl there's nothing dangerous on this page, nothing deprecated, nothing undefined — it just adds a folder and tells the host how much to store. you're safe, bestie. go forth. 🧚
