How to purge cache directly from s3cmd

[ryjanx]

Hello.

Is there a s3cmd command to purge the cache? It's so annoying to always purge the cache from the dashboard.

Thanks in advance!

That's a really good idea!

Do you normally invalidate the whole site ( /* ) or just a few files?

[ryjanx]

Normally the whole site. But both is good options to have..

I'm right that your are speaking about the "cloudfront" invalidation? if yes, there is a pending work to allow it.

The cfinval command was just added in MASTER to manually request invalidation for paths.

Examples of usage:

• Invalidate 2 files: s3cmd cfinval "s3://mybucket/file1" "s3://mybucket/other/file.txt"
• Invalidate the whole bucket: s3cmd cfinval "s3://mybucket"
• Invalidate all the content of a folder: s3cmd cfinval "s3://mybucket/folder1/"
• Invalidate files using a wildcard: s3cmd cfinval "s3://mybucket/folder1/images-2022*"
