CKAN configuration settings available from env vars
Project description
ckanext-envvars
This CKAN extension checks for environmental variables conforming to an expected format and updates the corresponding CKAN config settings with its value.
For the extension to correctly identify which env var keys map to the format used for the config object, env var keys should be formatted in the following way:
- All uppercase
- Replace periods ('.') with two underscores ('__')
- Keys must begin with 'CKAN' or 'CKANEXT'
Some examples:
ckan.site_id --> CKAN__SITE_ID
ckanext.s3filestore.aws_bucket_name --> CKANEXT__S3FILESTORE__AWS_BUCKET_NAME
For keys that don't normally begin with 'CKAN', add 'CKAN___' (3 underscores) to the beginning to help the extension identify these keys, e.g.:
sqlalchemy.url --> CKAN___SQLALCHEMY__URL
beaker.session.secret --> CKAN___BEAKER__SESSION__SECRET
Starting from CKAN 2.10 (and ckanext-envvars 0.0.4), if a configuration option is defined using CKAN's configuration declaration the key is not further processed. This allows to keep eg upper case setttings like SECRET_KEY, WTF_CSRF_ENABLED, e.g:
SECRET_KEY --> CKAN___SECRET_KEY
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED --> CKAN___WTF_CSRF_ENABLED
Requirements
Tested in CKAN 2.7, CKAN 2.8, CKAN 2.9 and CKAN 2.10, but may work in other versions.
To ensure all config settings are overridden by env var values,
envvars
must be the last plugin entry in the ckan.plugins
list (see
'Installation' below).
