direnv what a great tool!

handy to export environment variables on a per-directory basis 🙂

morning

@dharrigan what for? 🙂

Well, say you have scripts in your repo that do things, like setup services, or invoke remote APIs to download some data

you can generalise the scripts, but putting the endpoints etc., as environment variables

then using direnv, each developer can customise the variarlable as required.

you use env variables to parameterize your scripts?

sure

isn't that what args are for?

it's just another way of doing it

here's an exmaple

#!/bin/bash

# Please use direnv to store the ES variable

ES="${ES:-}"

cat investigation-mapping.json | http PUT $ES/investigation_a

admittedly, for the use-case you're describing. I'd probably just do this in the scripts: [ -f "../.env" ] && . ../.env No program required

that's super simple to do, rather than mess around with arguments, positions et.c..

in my direnv, I have this

export ES=

and once I cd into that directory, direnv will load the .direnv and export the environment for me.

the other side of this, is that I don't find that developers much need to parameterize these things much. Everyone can agree on where elasticsearch will be.

ha

I have a local elasticsearch and a remote elasticsearch running on http://elastic.co

I try out things locally first, esp with migrations from previous versions to newever versions

it takes a while for our ops team to migrate the elasticsearch in da cloud!

so, having direnv gives me the ability to choose, but not just me, others in the team too

it has proven to be a handy tool 🙂

you've also got ./foo -e though right

morning

anyone here climatestriking today? I've done our website, but as I own the company I have to admit I don't know what the form is

many ways of skinning the cat

nice thing is, I don't have to remember to do it

and direnv doesn't imped others from doing it their way

but once I set my environment variable in direnv, I can forget about having to remembre to pass in stuff to the script, for my local development

I see systemd is now a step further to becoming its own OS: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=systemd-homed

I'm glad I ripped that shit out

i got very upset when ubuntu migrated from upstart to systemd

@cfeckardt why ? (i haven't exactly been paying a lot of attention, but i haven't noticed much difference, other than that the systemd logging facilities seem to work much better with k8s+fluent-bit than i ever got the upstart or whatever logging facilities to work with dc/os)
