# Configuration
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
By default, all vieter commands try to read in the TOML file `~/.vieterrc` for
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
configuration. The location of this file can be changed by using the `-f` flag.
If the above file doesn't exist or you wish to override some of its settings,
configuration is also possible using environment variables. Every variable in
the config file has a respective environment variable of the following form:
say the variable is called `api_key`, then the respective environment variable
would be `VIETER_API_KEY`. In essence, it's the variable in uppercase prepended
with `VIETER_`.
If a variable is both present in the config file & as an environment variable,
the value in the environment variable is used.

**Note**
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
All environment variables can also be provided from a file by appending them
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
with `_FILE`. This for example allows you to provide the API key from a Docker
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
secrets file.

## Commands
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
The first argument passed to Vieter determines which command you wish to use.
2022-06-16 17:38:41 +02:00
Each of these can contain subcommands (e.g. `vieter targets list`), but all
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
subcommands will use the same configuration. Below you can find the
configuration variable required for each command.

### `vieter server`
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
* `log_level`: log verbosity level. Value should be one of `FATAL`, `ERROR`,
`WARN`, `INFO` or `DEBUG`.
* Default: `WARN`
* `log_file`: log file to write logs to.
* Default: `vieter.log` (in the current directory)
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
* `pkg_dir`: where Vieter should store the actual package archives.
* `data_dir`: where Vieter stores the repositories, log file & database.
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
* `default_arch`: this setting serves two main purposes:
* Packages with architecture `any` are always added to this architecture.
This prevents the server from being confused when an `any` package is
published as the very first package for a repository.
* Git repositories added without an `arch` value use this value instead.
* `port`: HTTP port to run on
* Default: `8000`
2022-12-17 17:11:19 +01:00
* `max_log_age`: maximum age of logs (in days). Logs older than this will get
cleaned by the log removal daemon every 24 hours. If set to a negative value,
no logs are ever removed. The age of logs is determined by the time the build
was started.
* Default: `-1`
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
### `vieter cron`
* `log_level`: log verbosity level. Value should be one of `FATAL`, `ERROR`,
`WARN`, `INFO` or `DEBUG`.
* Default: `WARN`
* `log_file`: log file to write logs to.
* Default: `vieter.log` (in `data_dir`)
* `address`: *public* URL of the Vieter repository server to build for. From
this server the list of Git repositories is retrieved. All built packages are
published to this server.
* `api_key`: API key of the above server.
* `data_dir`: directory to store log file in.
* `base_image`: Docker image to use when building a package. Any Pacman-based
distro image should work, as long as `/etc/pacman.conf` is used &
`base-devel` exists in the repositories. Make sure that the image supports
the architecture of your cron daemon.
* Default: `archlinux:base-devel` (only works on `x86_64`). If you require
`aarch64` support, consider using
[`menci/archlinuxarm:base-devel`](https://hub.docker.com/r/menci/archlinuxarm)
([GitHub](https://github.com/Menci/docker-archlinuxarm)). This is the image
used for the Vieter CI builds.
* `max_concurrent_builds`: how many builds to run at the same time.
* Default: `1`
* `api_update_frequency`: how frequently (in minutes) to poll the Vieter
repository server for a new list of Git repositories to build.
* Default: `15`
* `image_rebuild_frequency`: Vieter periodically builds a builder image using
the configured base image. This makes sure build containers do not have to
download a lot of packages when updating their system. This setting defines
how frequently (in minutes) to rebuild this builder image.
* Default: `1440` (every 24 hours)
* `global_schedule`: build schedule for any Git repository that does not have a
schedule defined. For information about this syntax, see
[here](/usage/builds/schedule).
2022-06-09 16:26:53 +02:00
* Default: `0 3` (3AM every night)
### `vieter logs`
2022-04-30 23:24:07 +02:00
* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
* `address`: Base URL of your Vieter instance, e.g. https://example.com
2022-06-16 17:38:41 +02:00
### `vieter targets`
* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
* `address`: Base URL of your Vieter instance, e.g. https://example.com
2022-06-16 17:38:41 +02:00
* `base_image`: image to use when building a package using `vieter targets
build`.
* Default: `archlinux:base-devel`
### `vieter agent`
* `log_level`: log verbosity level. Value should be one of `FATAL`, `ERROR`,
`WARN`, `INFO` or `DEBUG`.
* Default: `WARN`
* `address`: *public* URL of the Vieter repository server to build for. From
this server jobs are retrieved. All built packages are published to this
server.
* `api_key`: API key of the above server.
* `data_dir`: directory to store log file in.
* `max_concurrent_builds`: how many builds to run at the same time.
* Default: `1`
* `polling_frequency`: how often (in seconds) to poll the server for new
builds. Note that the agent might poll more frequently when it's actively
processing builds.
* `image_rebuild_frequency`: Vieter periodically builds images that are then
used as a basis for running build containers. This is to prevent each build
from downloading an entire repository worth of dependencies. This setting
defines how frequently (in minutes) to rebuild these images.
* Default: `1440` (every 24 hours)
* `arch`: architecture for which this agent should pull down builds (e.g.
`x86_64`)
