Dogu Configuration

Custom configuration settings are stored in the registry (etcd) of the Cloudogu EcoSystem. There are two keys that are relevant for a dogu:

  • /config/nameOfDogu (dogu specific settings)
  • /config/_global (global settings)

Usage

A dogu is able to retrieve this settings with the doguctl command line util e.g.:

# read setting test from /config/conf-dogu/title
doguctl config title

# read encrypted setting secret from /config/conf-dogu/secret
doguctl config -e secret

# read global setting admin_group from /config/_global/admin_group
doguctl config -g admin_group

Validation

Starting with version 0.14, the cesapp is able to validate those settings, if the dogu defines a configuration section in the dogu.json e.g.:

{
  "Name": "sample/conf-dogu",
  "Version": "0.1.0",
  "DisplayName": "Conf Dogu",
  "Description": "Dogu with configuration",
  "Image": "registry.cloudogu.com/sample/conf-dogu",
  "URL": "https://cloudogu.com",
  "Configuration": [{
    "Name": "title",
    "Description": "Title of index page"
  }, {
    "Name": "secret",
    "Description": "Encrypted secret",
    "Encrypted": true
  }, {
    "Name": "body",
    "Description": "Body of the index page",
    "Optional": true
  }]
}

The cesapp will throw an error, if a required settings is missing in the registry. Required settings are all settings, that are not explicitly marked as optional (like title and secret in the example above).

Editing

The settings of a dogu can be changed or created with the edit-config sub comand of the cesapp. The command can be used with either

  • a path to a dogu.json
  • the name of a installed dogu
  • a remote name

Examples:

# edit settings of a local dogu.json which is located in /vagrant/containers/conf-dogu
cesapp edit-config /vagrant/containers/conf-dogu

# edit settings of local /vagrant/containers/conf-dogu/dogu.json
cesapp edit-config /vagrant/containers/conf-dogu/dogu.json

# edit settings of a remote json
cesapp edit-config sample/conf-dogu

# edit settings of a installed dogu
cesapp edit-config conf-dogu

Removing a setting

By default, settings can only be changed but cannot be removed. In case you want to explicitly remove a setting from the registry, the edit-config sub command, must be used with the delete-on-empty and an empty value.

cesapp edit-config --delete-on-empty conf-dogu

Now, if the configuration value being entered is empty, the setting will be removed from the registry.
