πŸ“¦ version 4.7.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

πŸ¦‹ WWCTL(1) β€” the wwctl girlies' handbook πŸ¦‹

okay so bestie, welcome to the WWCTL(1) manual page 😌✨ this is the top-level glow-up for wwctl, and the page you're reading right now is the wwctl-node one β€” yes, the whole thing is called WWCTL(1) up top but the actual NAME it's serving is wwctl-node - Node management. it's giving "one name on the birth certificate, another on the group chat." iykyk πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

wwctl-node β€” Node management. that's it, that's the vibe. we're managing nodes today bestie 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wwctl node COMMAND [OPTIONS]

so it's wwctl, then node, then a COMMAND, then whatever [OPTIONS] you feel like sprinkling on top. the node part is doing main character energy here, and COMMAND is the supporting cast πŸŽ€


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Management of node settings. literally that's the whole job β€” we're out here managing node settings and looking iconic while doing it. πŸ—‚οΈβœ¨

and here's the part that lowkey ate: all node ranges can use brackets to identify node ranges. brackets = the friendship bracelets of node naming. 🫢

for example:

n00[00-4].cluster[0-1]

this one little string will identify the first 5 nodes in cluster0 and cluster1. like?? the way it just does that?? no cap, it's efficient and gorgeous πŸ’…πŸ”₯


πŸ’œ OPTIONS πŸ’œ

  • -h, --help[=false] β€” help for node. it's the "wait what does this do again" button, extremely valid of you to press it.

πŸŽ€ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS πŸŽ€

these bad boys come down from the parent command, so they're not even yours, they're inherited β€” nepo baby options, honestly πŸ‘‘

  • -d, --debug[=false] β€” Run with debugging messages enabled. turn it on when you need the ✨ lore ✨ on what's happening.
  • -v, --verbose[=false] β€” Run with increased verbosity. it's giving "tell me EVERYTHING, don't leave a single detail out" πŸ˜­πŸ’¬
  • --warewulfconf="" β€” Set the warewulf configuration file. you give it a value, it sets the config file. simple, clean, slay.
