Configuring Devices¶
Device configuration can be managed with the fioctl command line tool. There are two types of configuration supported:
- Fleet-wide - Configuration set here gets sent to all devices in a Factory.
- Device specific - This overrides fleet-wide configuration in the event they collide.
Fleet Wide Configuration¶
Configuration common to all factory devices can be done with fioctl config
subcommands:
# View log of config changes (similar to "git log")
fioctl config log
# Add a config file to the entire fleet
fioctl config set --reason "for docs" AWS_REGION="us-east-2"
Device Specific Configuration¶
Device configuration is managed with the fioctl devices config
subcommands:
# View log of config changes made to device
fioctl devices config log <device name>
# Add a config file to device
fioctl devices config set <device name> --reason "for docs" \
githubapitoken="really secure value"
“Raw” Configuration¶
The config set commands only expose part of what is possible with
configuration. Advanced use cases require the --raw option. Two
interesting things that can be done with this include “on-changed” and
“unencrypted”:
cat >tmp.json <<EOF
{
"reason": "for docs",
"files": [
{
"name": "npmtok",
"value": "root (this will get encrypted by tooling)",
"on-changed": ["/usr/bin/touch", "/tmp/npmtok-changed"]
},
{
"name": "A-Readable-Value",
"value": "This won't be encrypted and will be visible from the API",
"unencrypted": true
}
]
}
EOF
