Configuration Design

This is just a little scratchpad / design document for figuring out how to deal with configuration.

Sources of Configuration

1. Local config file flamenco-manager.yaml
2. Environment variables (for easily putting into docker)
3. CLI parameters

Flow of Configuration

1. Load at startup from flamenco-manager.yaml
   • Nice to have: monitoring & live reloading of that configuration file.
2. Load at startup from environment variables
   • Will never change.
3. Load at startup from CLI parameters
   • Will also never change
4. Receive new config via API (for Lineup integration)
   • Will require live adjustments of configuration.
