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

    url: repository.url

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
