✨ ganeti-cleaner(8) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is ganeti-cleaner from the Ganeti manual, Version 3.1.0~rc2, and she is literally the cleanup crew of your cluster 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ganeti-cleaner — the Ganeti job queue cleaner 🧹✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ganeti-cleaner node|master

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. ganeti-cleaner is a script that runs periodically and its whole entire job is removing old files. that's it. that's the vibe. 🗑️✨

it can clean either node-specific files or master-specific files, depending on what you hand it.

• when you call it with node as the argument, it will cleanup expired X509 certificates and keys from /var/run/ganeti/crypto, plus it deals with outdated ganeti-watcher information. 🔐
• when you call it with master as the argument, it instead automatically removes all files older than 21 days from /var/lib/ganeti/queue/archive. 👑 (yes, twenty-one. not twenty. not a month. twenty-one days. iconic.)

not me pointing out that master mode is out here deleting stuff on a timer with zero chill — that's the whole point of it, fr fr.
