💖 partimaged — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to partimaged(8) from the Partition Image Server Manual ✨ this is the server side of the whole partimage situation and honestly? she's iconic. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

partimaged — the backup/restore partitions server 💅

like, the main character who sits there and holds everybody's stuff.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

partimaged [ -DhLv ] [-r directory] [-p port] [-g loglevel]

that's the whole vibe check right there 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so partimaged is how you use partimage over the network, no cap 🌈

here's the plan: you run partimaged on the computer where you want to save the image files 📦 and then you run partimage on the stations you want to back up 💾. server on one side, clients on the other, everybody eats 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -D, --daemon — start the server in daemon mode 🧚 it goes off and does its thing in the background like a true independent queen.
  • -h, --help — show help 🙈 (yes she will explain herself, love that for her)
  • -L, --nologin — only accept clients that have login support disabled. clients with login support enabled get refused, periodt 💀 this one is lowkey specific: you should only use it if the clients ask for it.
  • -v, --version — show version ⭐
  • -p port, --port port — give the server's listening port 🔌
  • -d directory, --dest directory — the directory where the images will be stored 🍓 this is where the precious cargo lives.
  • -g debuglevel, --debug debuglevel — set the debug level to debuglevel (and ngl, it defaults to 1) 💜
  • -r dir, --chroot dir — use chroot to improve security 🔒 protecting the vibe, as she should.
