CDIST-TYPE__DOG_VDI(7)

💖 cdist-type__dog_vdi 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to cdist-type__dog_vdi (section 7 of the cdist manual, if you were wondering) — the little cdist type that manages Sheepdog VM images for you 🐑✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, the dog program is what actually does the heavy lifting here — it's the one creating images for sheepdog that then get used in qemu. that's the whole vibe. that's it. that's the gig 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

• state — either "present" or "absent", and it defaults to "present". so if you say nothing, bestie assumes you want the thing to exist 🦋
• size — the size of the image, in whatever units dog vdi speaks (it's dog vdi compatible units, no cap). required if state is "present" — you literally cannot make an image without telling it how big, periodt.

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

creating a 50G size image, the classic:

# Create a 50G size image
__dog_vdi nico-privat.sky.ungleich.ch --size 50G

same thing but like, more explicit about it, main character energy:

# Create a 50G size image (more explicit)
__dog_vdi nico-privat.sky.ungleich.ch --size 50G --state present

removing the image, bye bye 👋:

# Remove image
__dog_vdi nico-privat.sky.ungleich.ch --state absent

and removing it while still passing --size? totally fine, keeping --size is ok:

# Remove image - keeping --size is ok
__dog_vdi nico-privat.sky.ungleich.ch --size 50G --state absent
