Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
=============

|
|
|

|
Description
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
cdist obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following
|
|
|
|
|
order:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. command-line options
|
|
|
|
|
#. configuration file specified at command-line using -g command line option
|
|
|
|
|
#. configuration file specified in CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
#. environment variables
|
|
|
|
|
#. user's configuration file (first one found of ~/.cdist.cfg, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg, in specified order)
|
|
|
|
|
#. in-distribution configuration file (cdist/conf/cdist.cfg)
|
|
|
|
|
#. system-wide configuration file (/etc/cdist.cfg)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if one exists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration source with lower ordering number from above has a higher
|
|
|
|
|
precedence. Configuration option value read from source with higher
|
|
|
|
|
precedence will overwrite option value, if exists, read from source with
|
|
|
|
|
lower precedence. That means that command-line option wins them all.

Users can decide on the local configuration file location. It can be either
|
2019-04-23 18:55:23 +00:00
|
|
|
~/.cdist.cfg or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg. Note that, if both exist,
|
|
|
|
|
then ~/.cdist.cfg is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a per-project configuration, particular environment variables or better,
|
|
|
|
|
CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable or -g CONFIG_FILE command line option,
|
|
|
|
|
can be used.
