fsconsul

fsconsul writes data to the filesystem by reading it from Consul's K/V store.

fsconsul allows configuration data to be placed on disk without a consuming application needing to know about the existence of Consul. This makes it especially easy to configure applications throughout all your environments: development, testing, production, etc. On any change, fsconsul will run the provided command, so you can perform any additional actions (restarting your application, for example) necessary.

fsconsul is a port of envconsul which in turn was inspired by envdir in its simplicity, name, and function.

Download & Usage

To install fsconsul, clone this repo into your go workspace and do a go install.

Configuration

fsconsul can be configured entirely by command-line switches, but for more complex cases, you may wish to provide the path to a config JSON file as the -configFile switch. The format of the JSON file is:

{
	"consul" : {
		"addr": "127.0.0.1:8500"
		"dc": "dc1",
		"token" : "my-reader-token"
	},
	"mappings" : [{
		"onchange": "service restart app1",
		"prefix": "/myteam/dev/app1/config/",
		"path": "/etc/app1/",
		"keystore": "/var/lib/encryption_keys"
	},{
		"onchange": "service restart app2",
		"prefix": "/myteam/dev/app2/config/",
		"path": "/etc/app2/",
		"keystore": "/var/app2/encryption_keys"
	}]
}

Run fsconsul to see the usage help:


$ fsconsul
Usage: fsconsul [options] prefix path onchange
