Configmount mounts directories containing configuration files (augtools compatible files, yaml-files) as directories, so that every configuration value is accessible as file.
pip install configmount==0.0.36rc1
Config is a tool to mount configuration files into your filesystem, so that you can navigate through the configuration hierarchy and access its values like files.
Create a configuration directory for testing via mkdir ~/etc
and place the following yaml file into it:
~/etc/config.yml
group:
key: value
another group:
key: value
Now create a mount directory /mnt/etc
and mount the configuration directory into it.
mkdir /mnt/etc
configmount mount --root ~/etc /mnt/etc
You should be able to navigate into the /mnt/etc
directory and
see the file key
and the directory another group
. Now you can change the configuration value of key
like:
cd /mnt/etc/config.yml
echo new value >key
The changes are written back into the file as soon as you unmount the directory ~/etc
from the mountpoint /mnt/etc
via:
fusermount -u /mnt/etc
Finally cat ~/etc/config.yml
should give you the modified file.
