⚙️ Configuration Templates

Edit on Gitlab

Table of Contents

Basic rules

  • Do not start with the Teplates! Edit the init.sh.cfg first to define placeholders and variables.
  • All files in the docker/templates/ directory will be processed. This also means: you can add as many custom files here as you want - and the will processed too.
  • in the first line must be a line # TARGET: [name of target file] to define the target file. If this line does not exist, then the file will be skipped.
  • Placeholdrs have the syntax variable in double brackets, i.e. {{VARNAME}}
  • variables to be replaced are those in docker/init.sh.cfg and {{genrator}}
