enable Command

You will learn how to enable and disable feed sources from the command line.

Basic usage

Enable a specific feed:

update-ipsets enable firehol_level1

This creates the source enable marker for that feed. The daemon picks up the change on the next scheduler cycle or after a SIGHUP.

Add --disable to remove the enable marker:

update-ipsets enable --disable firehol_level1

The feed stops being scheduled for download and processing. Existing committed outputs remain on disk.

Enable every known feed in the catalog:

update-ipsets enable --all

Disable every known feed:

update-ipsets enable --all --disable

Use this when you want a clean slate — either enable everything and selectively disable, or disable everything and selectively enable.

Flag	Description
`--config <path>`	Path to the configuration catalog
`--all`	Apply to all known feeds
`--disable`	Disable instead of enable
`--silent`	Suppress non-error logs
`--verbose`	Enable verbose logs while loading configuration

Override the default config location:

update-ipsets enable --config /opt/update-ipsets/etc/config firehol_level1

The enable command modifies enable markers on disk. The running daemon detects the change when:

The next scheduler evaluation runs (controlled by the daemon --interval duration)
You send SIGHUP to reload configuration
You restart the daemon

For immediate effect without restart:

update-ipsets enable firehol_level1
sudo systemctl kill -s HUP update-ipsets

Or use the admin API to enable feeds at runtime:

curl -X POST -u "$UPDATE_IPSETS_ADMIN_USER:$UPDATE_IPSETS_ADMIN_PASSWORD" http://localhost:18889/api/v1/admin/feeds/firehol_level1/enable

The command prints no normal output on success. Use --verbose only when you need more detail while the command loads configuration:

update-ipsets enable --all --verbose
