Node Delete

The bacalhau node delete command offers administrators the ability to remove a node from the cluster using its name.

Description:

Using the delete sub-command, administrators can remove a node from the list of available compute nodes in the cluster. This feature is necessary for the management of the infrastructure.

Usage:

bacalhau node delete [id] [flags]

Flags:

  • [id]:

    • The unique identifier of the node you wish to describe.

  • -h, --help:

    • Displays the help documentation for the describe command.

  • -m message:

    • A message to be attached to the deletion action.

Global Flags:

  • --api-host string:

    • Specifies the host for client-server communication through REST. This flag is overridden if the BACALHAU_API_HOST environment variable is set.

    • Default: "bootstrap.production.bacalhau.org"

  • --api-port int:

    • Designates the port for REST-based communication between client and server. This flag is overlooked if the BACALHAU_API_PORT environment variable is defined.

    • Default: 1234

  • --log-mode logging-mode:

    • Determines the log format preference.

    • Options: 'default','station','json','combined','event'

    • Default: 'default'

  • --repo string:

    • Points to the bacalhau repository's path.

    • Default: "$HOME/.bacalhau"`

Examples:

  1. Delete the Node with ID nodeID123:

    bacalhau node delete nodeID123
  2. Delete a Node with an audit message:

    bacalhau node delete nodeID123 -m "bad actor"
