Generate config files from 'conf.d' like directories
Project description
Generate config files from conf.d like directories.
Split your config file into smaller files, called snippets, in a conf.d like directory. The generated config file will be the concatenation of all snippets, with snippets ordered by the lexical order of their names.
Files ending with .bak, .old and other similar terminations will be ignored.
This project was based on the update-conf.d project.
Install
This project works in Python 2 (2.6 or newer) and Python 3 (3.2 or newer).
To install:
pip install update-conf.py
It’s possible to clone the project in Github and install it via setuptools:
git clone git@github.com:rarylson/update-conf.py.git
cd update-conf.py
python setup.py install
Usage
To generate a config file, you can run something like this:
update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
The example above will merge the snippets in the directory /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.d into the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
If the directory containing the snippets uses a diferent name pattern, you can pass its name as an argument:
update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -d /etc/snmp/snmpd.d
It’s also possible to define frequently used options in a config file. For example, in /etc/update-conf.py.conf:
[snmpd]
file = /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
dir = /etc/snmp/snmpd.d
Now, you can run:
update-conf.py -n snmpd
To get help:
update-conf.py --help
Config files
update-conf.py will use the global config file (/etc/update-conf.py.conf) or the user-home config file (~/.update-conf.py.conf) if they exist.
When installing via the source distribution, the global config file (/etc/update-conf.py.conf) will be automatically created.
However, when installing via the binary wheel distribution, the config file installation will be skipped. But you can use the sample config file as a start point:
cp {prefix}/share/update-conf.py/update-conf.py.conf /etc/update-conf.py.conf
It’s also possible to pass a custom config file via command line args:
update-conf.py -c my_custom_config.conf -n snmpd
