refresh-cache

refresh-cache - Refresh local cache of a remote rocks server.

Usage

luarocks-admin refresh-cache [--from=server]

The flag --from indicates which server to use. If not given, the default server set in the upload_server variable from the configuration file is used instead. You need to either explicitly pass a full URL to --from or configure an upload server in your configuration file prior to using the "refresh-cache" function.

Example

Basic example

Refresh the cache of your main upload server:

luarocks-admin refresh-cache

Handling multiple repositories

Assuming your ~/.luarocks/config.lua file looks like this:

upload_server = "main"
upload_servers = {
   main = {
      http = "www.example.com/repos/main",
      sftp = "myuser@example.com/var/www/repos/main"
   },
   dev = {
      http = "www.example.com/repos/devel-rocks",
      sftp = "myuser@example.com/var/www/repos/devel-rocks"
   },
}

you can specify which cache to refresh with the --from flag:

luarocks-admin refresh-cache --from=dev
