README

confd

confd is a lightweight configuration management tool focused on:

• keeping local configuration files up-to-date using data stored in etcd, consul, dynamodb, redis, vault, zookeeper, aws ssm parameter store or env vars and processing template resources.
• reloading applications to pick up new config file changes

Project Status

confd is currently being cleaned up to build on later versions of Go and moving to adopt native support for Go modules. As part of this work the following major changes are being made:

• The etcd and etcdv3 backend are going to be merged. etcd v2 has been deprecated and both backend will now use etcdv3 client libraries.
• The cget, cgets, cgetv, and cgetvs templates function have been removed due to an unmaintained dependency github.com/xordataexchange/crypt/encoding/secconf. We need to rethink encryption in the core project and rely only on the standard library going forward. In the meanwhile these template function will not work and if support is required you will need to stick with an older version of confd.

Building

Go 1.10 is required to build confd, which uses the new vendor directory.

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/GuanceCloud
$ git clone https://github.com/BrotherSam66/confd.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/BrotherSam66/confd
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/BrotherSam66/confd
$ make

You should now have confd in your bin/ directory:

$ ls bin/
confd
