AFS-NEWCELL(8)

okay bestie, welcome to the AFS-NEWCELL(8) page 💖 it’s giving Debian GNU/Linux, it’s giving cell-setup main character energy, and it’s here to help you set up the first database server for an AFS cell. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

afs-newcell — Set up initial database server for AFS cell 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

afs-newcell [--requirements-met] [--admin admin_user]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this script is literally the moment your AFS cell starts existing properly: it sets up the initial AFS database and configures the first database/file server. iconic behavior, honestly. 🎀

here’s the tea on the flags, bestie:

• --requirements-met — says that the initial requirements have been met, which means the script can proceed without displaying the initial banner or asking for confirmation. no banner, no “u sure?”, it just goes. ✨
• --admin admin_user — names the administrative user. this user will be given system:administrators and susers permission in the cell. 👑 periodt.
