creating other configuration files

[diegoroccia]

Hi! is it possible to use bamboo to create other configuration files than haproxy ones? I would like to export a json file to be used by other services

thanks

This was one of the feature we are working on internally. For the moment, you might be able to request the API using a script.

You can change the reload command to call a script that does:

1. reload haproxy
2. call Bamboo API and generate json

Here's an idea of what you might do if you need to set in the config if you wanted to generate an nginx config file:

  "HAProxy": {
    "TemplatePath": "/etc/bamboo/nginx_template.cfg",
    "OutputPath": "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf",
    "ReloadCommand": "nginx -s reload",
    "ReloadValidationCommand": "nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t"
  },

I don't know what service you're deploying, but let us know if there's any functionality you need from bamboo.

Thanks a lot for your replies

My need would be to have multiple configuration files generated. I was aware of the 2 solutions you guys proposed (thanks) but I think it would be great to have something like:

"Outputs": [ "HAProxy": { "TemplatePath": "/etc/bamboo/nginx_template.cfg", "OutputPath": "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf", "ReloadCommand": "nginx -s reload", "ReloadValidationCommand": "nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t" }, "ServiceMappings": { "TemplatePath": "/etc/bamboo/servicemappings.cfg", "OutputPath": "/etc/sysconfig/servicemappings.cfg", "ReloadCommand": "kill -HUP somepid", }, "Someotherfile": { "TemplatePath": "/etc/bamboo/someotherfile.cfg", "OutputPath": "/etc/someotherfile.cfg", } ]

and so on, an arbitrary number of files generated. As your code has no real "dependency" on haproxy, I think it would be smart to abstract all of this.

@activars I just re-read your reply and I realised I missed the "we're working on this" feature! so can we wait for this feature to arrive? thanks!

Yeah, multiple output files is a needed feature, even for haproxy, with things like green-blue deploys making zero downtime reloads much easier. I'll open a seperate issue for that
