✨ NAME ✨

flake-ctl-firecracker-remove(8) —

💖 NAME 💖

flake-ctl firecracker remove — remove an application registration and/or an entire VM 🫶 like, the whole thing, gone, bye.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

USAGE:
    flake-ctl firecracker remove <--vm <VM>|--app <APP>>

OPTIONS:
    --app <APP>
    --vm <VM>

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the vibe here is: remove registration(s). Which registry gets touched? It's detected from the caller, iykyk. If you call it as any user other than root, then it's that user's own user-specific, rootless registry that gets used. No cap 🌈

This command lowkey has two modes, and they are not the same mode:

1. Remove an application registration provided via --app 🎀

In this mode the command deletes the specified application, but only if it's a link pointing to /usr/bin/firecracker-pilot. Then it also deletes the application configuration from /usr/share/flakes, respectively from ~/.config/flakes in user mode 💫

2. Remove a VM including all its registered applications via --vm 🔥

In this mode the command deletes all application registrations using the specified VM. And at the end, the specified VM itself also gets removed from the local firecracker registry. Main character exit, honestly 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --app <APP> — the application absolute path that you want removed from the host 🍓
• --vm <VM> — the VM basename, exactly as provided via ls -1 /var/lib/firecracker/images, respectively ls -1 ~/.config/flakes/firecracker/images in user mode ⭐

---

🧚 FILES 🧚

• /usr/share/flakes
• /var/lib/firecracker/images
• ~/.config/flakes
• ~/.config/flakes/firecracker/images

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈
