README

confd

confd is a lightweight configuration management tool focused on keeping local configuration files up-to-date by polling etcd for specific keys and regenerating templates when values change. confd can also take care of reloading applications to pick up new config file changes.

Install

Download the latest binary release

Usage

Poll the etcd cluster node (127.0.0.1). All template configs under /etc/confd/conf.d will be processed one at a time every 30 secs. The "/production" string will be prefixed to keys when querying etcd.

confd -c /etc/confd -i 30 -p '/production' -n 'http://127.0.0.1:4001'

Using default settings process all template configs and exit.

confd -onetime

Configuration File

The confd configuration file is written in the TOML format and is loaded from /etc/confd/confd.toml by default.

Optional:

  • confdir (string) - The path to confd configs. The default is /etc/confd.
  • etcd_nodes (array of strings) - An array of etcd cluster nodes. The default is ["http://127.0.0.1:4001"].
  • interval (int) - The number of seconds wait between calls to etcd. The default is 600.
  • prefix (string) - The prefix string to prefix to keys when making calls to etcd. The default is "/".

Example:

[confd]
  confdir = "/etc/confd"
  etcd_nodes = [
    "http://127.0.0.1:4001",
  ]
  interval = 600
  prefix = "/"

Template Config

Template configs are written in TOML and define a single template resource. Template configs are stored under the confdir/conf.d directory.

Required:

  • dest (string) - output file where the template should be rendered.
  • keys (array of strings) - An array of etcd keys. Keys will be looked up with the configured prefix.
  • src (string) - relative path of a Go template. Templates are stored under the confdir/templates directory.

Optional:

  • group (string) - name of the group that should own the file.
  • mode (string) - mode the file should be in.
  • owner (string) - name of the user that should own the file.
  • reload_cmd (string) - command to reload config.
  • check_cmd (string) - command to check config. Use {{ .src }} to reference the rendered source template.

Example:

[template]
  src = "nginx.conf.tmpl"
  dest = "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf"
  group = "root"
  keys = [
    "/nginx/worker_processes",
  ]
  owner = "root"
  mode = "0644"
  check_cmd = "/usr/sbin/nginx -t -c {{ .src }}"
  reload_cmd = "/usr/sbin/service nginx restart"
