mesheryctl registry purge

Prune old model version directories

Synopsis

Prune older versions of Meshery Models under ./models, retaining only the most recent --retain versions of each model.

Prerequisite: Execute this command from the root of a meshery/meshery repo fork; it operates on the "./models" directory relative to the current working directory.

The "kubernetes" and "meshery-core" models are always excluded from purging, regardless of flags. Use --exclude to skip additional models.

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> mesheryctl registry purge [flags] </div> </pre>

Examples

Retain only the latest version of every model (default).

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> mesheryctl registry purge </div> </pre>

Retain the 3 most recent versions of every model.

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> mesheryctl registry purge --retain 3 </div> </pre>

Preview what would be removed without deleting anything.

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> mesheryctl registry purge --dry-run </div> </pre>

Additionally skip specific models.

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> mesheryctl registry purge --exclude aws-ec2-controller,cilium </div> </pre>

Skip the confirmation prompt.

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> mesheryctl registry purge --retain 2 -y </div> </pre>

Options

<pre class='codeblock-pre'> <div class='codeblock'> --dry-run print what would be removed without deleting anything --exclude string comma-delimited list of additional model names to exclude from purging -h, --help help for purge --retain int number of most-recent versions to retain per model (default 1) -y, --yes (optional) assume yes for user interactive prompts. </div> </pre>
