fylr.example.yml

In this section you find most settings possible in fylr.yml and explanations as comments

This is NOT a coherent fylr.yml, do not use for an installation; use this instead.

If you start your hierarchy in fylr.yml with fylr+: instead of fylr:, then defaults are used where not explicilty overwritten. Defaults see fylr.default.yml

fylr.yml
## - Some of the regexs to check for versions might require modifications
## - All relative paths described in the file are relative to cmd/fylr unless otherwise
##    stated
## - All ports described in the file are formatted to work with Golang net/http package
##
## Multiple config files can be parsed (use -c ... -c ... -c ...).
##   The following rules apply:
##   - For maps the whole map is replaced, unless the key which holds the map
##     ends ins a plus. If it ends in a minus, values are removed from a map.
##   - For slices the whole slice is replace. If the key ends in a +, values are
##     are appended, if it ends in a "-" values are removed. If it ends in "<",
##     values are prepended.
##   - Other values are overwritten
##
## To set the externalURL and the sqlite database name in a minimum fylr.yml one could do:
##
## ---fylr.yml---
##   fylr+:
##     externalURL: "http://localhost"
##     db+:
##       dsn: mysqlite.db
## --------------
##
## The "+" on the top level and for "db" is needed to tell fylr to merge the map
## rather than overwriting it. If the .yml uses "fylr" instead (no "+") the
## default config will be replaced.
##
## Environemnt allows to overwrite the fylr.yml All variables are read in
## upper-case. For the path to deeper variables, use "_" as separator. Supported
## types: string, []string. To fill []string, use a JSON array.
##
## Example: FYLR_DB_DSN="host=localhost port=5432 user=fylr dbname=test"
## FYLR_DB_DRIVER="postgres"
##
## Use --env-prefix on the command line to overwrite the FYLR_ default

# All config is below "fylr"
fylr:
