swift-init(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is swift-init — it's the OpenStack Swift swift-init tool, and she's the one who runs the whole squad of swift daemons for you 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

swift-init
 <server> [<server> ...] <command> [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl, swift-init is THE girl for initializing every single swift daemon that ships with OpenStack Swift 🫶. Like, instead of going around calling each individual init script for each daemon one by one (so much work, so not the vibe), you just use swift-init and she handles it. You can init just one swift service — say the "proxy" — or a whole lil combination of them, your call boo. She also lets you use the keywords "all", "main" and "rest" for the <server> argument, which is iconic behavior fr fr ✨

🌸 Servers 🌸

• proxy — initializes the swift proxy daemon 💜
• object, object-replicator, object-auditor, object-updater — initializes the swift object daemons listed above 🍓
• container, container-update, container-replicator, container-auditor — initializes the swift container daemons listed above 🎀
• account, account-auditor, account-reaper, account-replicator — initializes the swift account daemons listed above 🌈
• all — initializes literally all the swift daemons 👑
• main — initializes all the main swift daemons (that's proxy, container, account and object servers) ⭐
• rest — initializes all the other swift background daemons (updater, replicator, auditor, reaper, etc) 🦋

💅 Commands 💅

• force-reload — alias for reload
• no-daemon — start a server interactively
• no-wait — spawn server and return immediately
• once — start server and run one pass on supporting daemons
• reload — graceful shutdown then restart on supporting servers
• reload-seamless — reload supporting servers with no downtime
• restart — stops then restarts server
• shutdown — allow current requests to finish on supporting servers
• start — starts a server
• status — display status of tracked pids for server
• stop — stops a server

🌟 Options 🌟

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🫶
