Add --env options to device restart, update commands
annybs opened this issue ยท 1 comments
At the moment we can:
- Specify envvars through
edge device start -e ABC=def
- Retain envvars through
edge device update
- Retain envvars through
edge device restart
(by virtue of not removing the original container)
However, in order to alter envvars we have to fully stop the device and reassign them through edge device start
using docker inspect
to check for (and manually copy) any existing envvars.
Ideally we should have a changeable env when interacting with the device in any way that causes it to run (or continue to run) the app afterwards, so that for instance if I needed to add a new envvar without worrying about the existing ones, I could run edge device restart -e GHI=jkl
Ergo:
edge device start -e ABC=def
๐ container hasABC=def
edge device restart -e GHI=jkl
๐ container hasABC=def GHI=jkl
edge device update -e MNO=pqr
๐ container hasABC=def GHI=jkl MNO=pqr
Removing envvars could subsequently be done in one of two ways: edge device stop && edge device start
to start over with a clean slate of envvars, or edge device restart -e ABC=
to clear the value of an envvar.
Alternative/complementary solution: edge device configure ENV_VAR value
