chainctl config

Local config file commands for chainctl.

Synopsis

Local config file commands for chainctl.

Every config property can also be set with an environment variable, which is useful for scripts and CI. Take the property name, uppercase it, replace dots with underscores, and add a CHAINGUARD_ prefix:

  • default.group becomes CHAINGUARD_DEFAULT_GROUP
  • platform.api becomes CHAINGUARD_PLATFORM_API
  • output.silent becomes CHAINGUARD_OUTPUT_SILENT

Environment variables take precedence over the config file, and command line flags take precedence over both.

Setting default.group supplies the default for –parent, so exporting CHAINGUARD_DEFAULT_GROUP avoids passing –parent to every command.

Options inherited from parent commands

      --api string         The url of the Chainguard platform API. (default "https://console-api.enforce.dev")
      --audience string    The Chainguard token audience to request. (default "https://console-api.enforce.dev")
      --config string      A specific chainctl config file. Uses CHAINCTL_CONFIG environment variable if a file is not passed explicitly.
