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
