State config file path in the documentation #655

Open michidk opened 4 years ago

michidk commented 4 years ago

What is the path for the config file, when not configuration using CLI args?

I can't find it in the docs.

jangaraj commented 4 years ago

There is no default config file location.

michidk commented 4 years ago

How can I then specify a path to load the config file?

=> You can't specify just path - directory

It looks like you are expecting old school approach, where app has own config file somewhere (/etc/app/...) and it has hardcoded path to that config file. That is not a case here. You can use env variables (not for all config options) OR parameters OR config file OR their combination.

So if I understood the code correctly, I can specify one (or multiple) config-files with the --config flag? I think that should be documented in the documentation rather just in code.

Yeah 🤞. Please check -h in the CLI to see all config options, supported env variables. That is IMHO the best doc.

Hi, is there a way I use this in a docker-compose file please?
