WWCTL(1)

📦 version 4.7.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 WWCTL(1) — the wwctl image exec page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is wwctl image exec, a page from the WWCTL(1) manual, and it's genuinely one of the fun ones. buckle up 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

wwctl-image-exec — run a command inside of a Warewulf image 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wwctl image exec [OPTIONS] IMAGE COMMAND

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie. you get to run a COMMAND inside of a warewulf IMAGE. that's the whole vibe ✨

and like, the classic use case? pairing it with an interactive shell like /bin/bash so you can run a virtual environment within the image. yes really. main character energy fr 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -b, --bind=[] — source[:destination[:{ro|copy}]]. binds a local path into the image, and heads up: that local path must exist (no cap, it has to be there 🙈). if you don't set destination, it just uses the same path as source, easy. "ro" binds it read-only. "copy" temporarily copies the file into the image. so many little modes, we love to see it 💜
  • --build=true — (Re)build the image automatically. it literally says true as the default so it's doing the thing unless you tell it otherwise 👑
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for exec. the "what does this do again" button, iconic ✨
  • -n, --node="" — create a read only view of the image for the given node 🦋. note the read only part, so like, look but don't touch energy 🫶
  • --syncuser[=false] — synchronize UIDs/GIDs from host to image 🌈. default is false, so you gotta opt in, iykyk

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these came from the parent commands, so they're like, family heirlooms at this point 💀

  • -d, --debug[=false] — run with debugging messages enabled 🍓
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — run with increased verbosity 🌸
  • --warewulfconf="" — set the warewulf configuration file ⭐
