Toolsconfig

Documentation is work in progress!

Single config file containing credentials and favourites for cli tools using cobra and viper.

Default configuration file: ~/.toolsconfig/config.yaml. On Linux systems the directory should have 700 permissions, and the file 600, otherwise an error will be thrown.

The following kinds of credentials are now available.

• Server credentials per URL/Identifier (Similar to ~/.m2/settings.xml or ~/.gradle/gradle.properties) e.g. Docker registry, Artifactory, ...
• Azure Subscription Credentials
• Generic credentials (Simple Key/Value pair)

If a credential is required, and it does not exist in the config file a new entry with empty values will be added to the configuration.

Additional features:

• Favourite handling

  Requires adding toolconfig commands and functions to the cobra root command!

  • Every successfully executed call can be saved as a favourite using
    mytool [param1] [param2] --flag1 test --save myFirstFavourite
  • List existing favourites.
    mytool fav list
  • Run save commands
    mytool --run myFirstFavourite => runs mytool [param1] [param2] --flag1 test

Configuration

# ~/.toolsconfig/config.yaml
servers:
  - # The server base url. This url is used from the apps to find the credentials for the server
    url: repository.url
    # The username to access the server
    username: [ USERNAME ]
    # The password to access the server
    password: [ PASSWORD ]

    # Another example for a maven repository
  - url: maven.repository.url
    username: [ MAVEN_USERNAME ]
    password: [ MAVENPASSWORD ]

azureSubscriptions:
  - # The subscription name. Either the name or the subscriptionID can be used from the tools to get teh credentials 
    name: azureSubsciption01
    # The subscription ID
    subscriptionID: [ SUBSCRIPTION_ID ]
    # The tenant ID

Environement Variables

You can use environment variables to use instead of the values from config files. Environment variables overrule values from config files, but only if all values for a entry are available.

Environment values for the example from above:

REPOSITORY.URL_USERNAME=[USERNAME]
REPOSITORY.URL_IO_PASSWORD=[PASSWORD]
MAVEN.REPOSITORY.URL_PASSWORD=[USERNAME] 
MAVEN.REPOSITORY.URL_USERNAME=[PASSWORD]
AZURESUBSCRIPTION01_SUBSCRIPTIONID=[SUBSCRIPTION_ID]
AZURESUBSCRIPTION01_TENANTID=[TENANT_ID]
AZURESUBSCRIPTION01_CLIENTID=[CLIENT_ID]
AZURESUBSCRIPTION01_CLIENTSECRET=[CLIENT_SECRET]
SYSTEM_WITH_TOKEN_VALUE=CLIENT_SECRET
