All environment variables can also be provided from a file by appending them
with `_FILE`. This for example allows you to provide the API key from a docker

secrets file.

## Modes
## Commands
The vieter binary can run in several "modes", indicated by the first argument
passed to them. Each mode requires a different configuration.
The first argument passed to Vieter determines which command you wish to use.
Each of these can contain subcommands (e.g. `vieter repos list`), but all
subcommands will use the same configuration. Below you can find the
configuration variable required for each command.
### Server
### `vieter server`
* `log_level`: defines how much logs to show. Valid values are one of `FATAL`,
`ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO` or `DEBUG`. Defaults to `WARN`
* `log_file`: log file to write logs to. Defaults to `vieter.log` in the
current directory.
* `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)
* `pkg_dir`: where Vieter should store the actual package archives.
* `data_dir`: where Vieter stores the repositories, log file & database.
* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
* `default_arch`: architecture to always add packages of arch `any` to.
* `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.
### Builder
### `vieter repos`
* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
* `address`: Base your URL of your Vieter instance, e.g. https://example.com
* `base_image`: image to use when building a package. It should be an Archlinux
image. The default if not configured is `archlinux:base-devel`, but this
image only supports arm64. If you require aarch64 support as well, consider
using
[`menci/archlinuxarm:base-devel`](https://hub.docker.com/r/menci/archlinuxarm)
([GH](https://github.com/Menci/docker-archlinuxarm))
* `base_image`: image to use when building a package using `vieter repos
build`.
* Default: `archlinux:base-devel`
### Repos
### `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.
* Default: `0 3` (3AM every night)
### `vieter logs`
* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
* `address`: Base your URL of your Vieter instance, e.g. https://example.com

```
Here, `some-url` is the URL of the Git repository containing the PKGBUILD. This
URL is passed to `git clone`, so the repository should be public. Vieter
URL is passed to `git clone`, meaning the repository should be public. Vieter
expects the same format as an AUR Git repository, so you can directly use AUR
URLs here.

# Cron schedule syntax
The Vieter cron daemon uses a subset of the cron expression syntax to schedule
builds.
## Format
`a b c d`
* `a`: minutes
* `b`: hours
* `c`: days
* `d`: months
An expression consists of two to four sections. If less than four sections are
provided, the parser will append `*` until there are four sections. This means
that `0 3` is the same as `0 3 * *`.
Each section consists of one or more parts, separated by a comma. Each of these
parts, in turn, can be one of the following (any letters are integers):
* `*`: allow all possible values.
* `a`: only this value is allowed.
* `*/n`: allow every n-th value.
* `a/n`: allow every n-th value, starting at a in the list.
* `a-b`: allow every value between a and b, bounds included.
* `a-b/n`: allow every n-th value inside the list of values between a and b,
bounds included.
Each section can consist of as many of these parts as necessary.
## Examples
* `0 3`: every day at 03:00AM.
* `0 0 */7`: every 7th day of the month, at midnight.
## CLI tool
The Vieter binary contains a command that shows you the next matching times for
a given expression. This can be useful to understand the syntax. For more
information, see
[vieter-schedule(1)](https://rustybever.be/man/vieter/vieter-schedule.1.html).

Here, `$repo` & `$arch` are not variables you have to fill in yourself. Rather,
Pacman will substitute these when reading the config file. `$repo` is replaced
by the name between the square brackets (in this case `repo-name`), & `$arch`
is replaced by your system's architecture, e.g. `x86_64`. Of course, you can
also fill in these values manually yourself, e.g. if you wish to use a
different name inside the square brackets.
