Hi,

At beginning, I did a very simple change in Karaf Main: for instance, you would 
be able to do

Bin/karaf -Dpid:prop=value

And I init the configuration file with the value.

However, system properties are not super easy with docker.

That’s why I preferred the env variable approach.

Now, about env variable, I just leverage what we already have in Karaf (just 
updating the default configuration file).

I can do a new iteration where (in configadmin repository), I’m checking ALL 
env variables to find one matching.
It would mean something like:

$ export KARAF.MY_PID.prop=value

For instance.

We would need a "env variable format".

Thoughts ?

Regards
JB
