docker-envconsul

A docker container for envconsul, available via PATH at /usr/bin. Intended for use as a base image for applications wanting to use envconsul.

Published to the docker registry as mhamrah/envconsul

There is also a launcher script in the path, envconsul-launch, which does a few things for you:

• Sets the -consul flag to the $CONSUL env variable if set, otherwise the gateway ip, assuming consul is running on the host computer on port 8500
• Sanitizes and Upcases keys
• Sets a wait timeout range of 2 to 8 seconds for rolling updates after a key change
• Falls back with a warning to your command line parameter should consul not be available, running the second command line argument passed to the container.

You can use envconsul-launch the same way as envconsul. Command line parameters are passed via $*.

envconsul-launch is set as the entrypoint, so you can simply pass in your key and command like so:

docker run -i -t --rm mhamrah/envconsul CONSUL_KEY env
