💖 cdist-type__ccollect_source(7) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're looking at cdist-type__ccollect_source — yes the whole manual page name is a mouthful, but it's giving very specific and very useful, iykyk 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__ccollect_source — manage ccollect sources. that's the whole vibe. 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this cdist type lets you create or delete ccollect sources. that's it, that's the assignment, and it ate. 💅

🔥 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🔥

these are not optional, bestie, you GOTTA give them:

  • source — the source from which to backup 👑
  • destination — the destination directory 🎯

✨ OPTIONAL PARAMETERS ✨

you can skip these but honestly why would you:

  • state — 'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present' 🫶
  • ccollectconf — the CCOLLECT_CONF directory. Defaults to /etc/ccollect. 📁

🌈 OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS 🌈

yes you can stack these, go off:

  • exclude — paths to exclude of backup 🙈

🎀 BOOLEAN PARAMETERS 🎀

just flags, no value needed, iconic behaviour fr fr:

  • verbose — whether to report backup verbosely 🗣️
  • create-destination — create the directory specified in the destination parameter on the remote host 🏗️

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

here's the actual copy-paste-and-thrive energy, no cap:

__ccollect_source doc.ungleich.ch \
    --source doc.ungleich.ch:/ \
    --destination /backup/doc.ungleich.ch \
    --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/sys/*' \
    --verbose

and if you want it to make the destination for you, add the flag:

__ccollect_source doc.ungleich.ch \
    --source doc.ungleich.ch:/ \
    --destination /backup/doc.ungleich.ch \
    --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/sys/*' \
    --verbose \
    --create-destination
