Managing Metadata

  • Clearing metadata caches
    KooCLI caches local metadata files obtained during API calling and stores the files in the following directory:
    • Online mode
      • Windows: C:\Users\{Your Windows username}\.hcloud\metaRepo\
      • Linux: /home/{Current username}/.hcloud/metaRepo/
      • macOS: /Users/{Current username}/.hcloud/metaRepo/
    • Offline mode
      • Windows: C:\Users\{Your Windows username}\.hcloud\metaOrigin\
      • Linux: /home/{Current username}/.hcloud/metaOrigin/
      • macOS: /Users/{Current username}/.hcloud/metaOrigin/

    Run the following commands to clear metadata cache files:

    • Online mode

      hcloud meta clear

      hcloud meta clear
      Cache cleared.
    • Offline mode

      Run the hcloud meta clear command to clear the metadata cache files parsed from the downloaded offline metadata package. The package will remain. During API calling, this package will be parsed again and new metadata cache files will be written into it. To completely delete the offline metadata package and the contained metadata cache files, delete the directory where these files are located, according to the OS you use.

  • Downloading metadata

    A downloaded offline metadata package will be stored in the preceding directories for the offline mode. Run the following command to download the offline metadata package:

    hcloud meta download

    hcloud meta download
    Download successful.
