stackablectl cache

The cache command let’s you interact with locally cached files. The stackablectl tool retrieves release, demo, and stack definitions from a dedicated GitHub repository. It additionally retrieves Helm / YAML manifests from various other sources. These files are downloaded once and then cached for one hour. In this time period, the files are not downloaded again, but instead the locally cached (stored on disk) files are used. Users can opt out of caching by providing the --no-cache flag.

General Usage

Interact with locally cached files Usage: stackablectl cache [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> Commands: list List cached files clean Clean cached files help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) Options: -l, --log-level <LOG_LEVEL> Log level this application uses --no-cache Do not cache the remote (default) demo, stack and release files Cached files are saved at '$XDG_CACHE_HOME/stackablectl', which is usually '$HOME/.cache/stackablectl' when not explicitly set. --offline Do not request any remote files via the network -h, --help Print help (see a summary with '-h') -V, --version Print version File options: -d, --demo-file <DEMO_FILE> Provide one or more additional (custom) demo file(s) Demos are loaded in the following order: Remote (default) demo file, custom demo files provided via the 'STACKABLE_DEMO_FILES' environment variable, and lastly demo files provided via the '-d/--demo-file' argument(s). If there are demos with the same name, the last demo definition will be used. Use "stackablectl [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> -d path/to/demos1.yaml -d path/to/demos2.yaml" to provide multiple additional demo files. -s, --stack-file <STACK_FILE> Provide one or more additional (custom) stack file(s) Stacks are loaded in the following order: Remote (default) stack file, custom stack files provided via the 'STACKABLE_STACK_FILES' environment variable, and lastly demo files provided via the '-s/--stack-file' argument(s). If there are stacks with the same name, the last stack definition will be used. Use "stackablectl [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> -s path/to/stacks1.yaml -s path/to/stacks2.yaml" to provide multiple additional stack files. -r, --release-file <RELEASE_FILE> Provide one or more additional (custom) release file(s) Releases are loaded in the following order: Remote (default) release file, custom release files provided via the 'STACKABLE_RELEASE_FILES' environment variable, and lastly release files provided via the '-r/--release-file' argument(s). If there are releases with the same name, the last release definition will be used. Use "stackablectl [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> -r path/to/releases1.yaml -r path/to/releases2.yaml" to provide multiple additional release files. Helm repository options: --helm-repo-stable <URL> Provide a custom Helm stable repository URL [default: https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-stable/] --helm-repo-test <URL> Provide a custom Helm test repository URL [default: https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-test/] --helm-repo-dev <URL> Provide a custom Helm dev repository URL [default: https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-dev/]

Listing Cached Files

To list currently cached files, use stackablectl cache list:

Cleaning Cached Files

To clean currently cached files, use stackablectl cache clean. This will remove all cached files, regardless if the files are expired. To only delete outdated files, add the --outdated flag.
