Read configuration from a config file about statping HOT 3 CLOSED

I "could" make all services be an array in the config.yml file, but then where would you keep the data for service response logs?

@hunterlong Ideally one would be able to declaratively configure services at startup and then statping would store the data in whatever database backend is in use. Unless I'm missing something, the only way I see to spin up a fully-configured instance of statping is to provision the infrastructure and then manually click around the interface setting up services.

I want to be able to be able to fully declare my statping instance using something like Terraform or Docker Compose, have the services version controlled, and have it begin tracking service data immediately without requiring my manual intervention each time it starts up in a new environment. I'd be happy to create a new issue if this isn't already covered.

Hey @ashwajce , You can have a .env environment file that will overwrite variables from config.yml. I've included a section in the wiki under ENV Config File. I "could" make all services be an array in the config.yml file, but then where would you keep the data for service response logs?

You should mount the config.yml into each container, use .env file, or just insert the environment variables in the container. Statup will check for DB_CONN, if that's set, then it will force you to use the other database environment variables. (overwriting anything in config.yml file)

Thanks @hunterlong this is helpful!
