Introduction

To manage resources in multiple regions or projects or use multiple accounts, add profiles to store fixed information in different scenarios. If you have configured multiple profiles, use --cli-profile to specify the name of the profile to be configured or used.

The following table lists the KooCLI profile parameters that can be modified.

Table 1 Profile parameters

cli-agree-privacy-statement

Whether to agree to the privacy statement. Options:

  • The value of --cli-custom indicates the type of the parameter to be set in the profile. If --cli-custom is set to false, the system parameters will be set. If --cli-custom is set to true, the custom parameters will be set.
  • When you set a system parameter for a profile that does not exist, the profile is created; if you do so for an existing profile, the profile is modified.
  • You cannot set custom parameters for a profile that does not exist. You cannot set both system parameters and custom parameters in the same command.
  • After you set system parameters or custom parameters for a profile, the profile then becomes the default.

Command for adding or modifying a profile:

hcloud configure set --param1=paramValue1 --param2=paramValue2 ...
