> Docker compatibility
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: UNOMI-216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UNOMI-216
> Project: Apache Unomi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0-incubating, 1.1.0-incubating, 1.2.0-incubating,
> 1.3.0-incubating, 1.4.0
> Reporter: Serge Huber
> Assignee: Serge Huber
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.4.0

> The idea here is to make it easy to "override" common configuration
> properties in Apache Unomi by modifying a single configuration file. Of
> course this type of deployment is focused on "static" deployments, not
> deployment where the configuration admin is used to dynamically update
> configuration. Also this will address the need of Docker containers that pass
> configuration through environment variables.
> As a consequence, default Unomi properties should be "placeholdered", with
> default values
> Here is the section in the Karaf documentation about configuration, including
> environment variables references :
> [http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/#_configuration_3]
> "Properties can be referenced inside configuration files using the syntax
> {{$\{<name>}}}. Default and alternate values can be specified using
> {{$\{<name>:-<default_value>}}} and {{$\{<name>:+<alternate_value>}}}
> syntaxes respectively."
> "Environment variables can be referenced inside configuration files using the
> syntax {{$\{env:<name>}}} (e.g.{{property=$\{env:FOO}}} will set "property"
> to the value of the enviroment variable "FOO"). Default and alternate values
> can be defined for them as well using the same syntax as above."
> Some difficulty might come from configuration files such as the Hazelcast XML
> configuration file that can only reference system properties, so we might
> have to setup the placeholders in the custom.system.properties file.
> This story includes modifications to the documentation to use this
> centralized file, both on the Unomi website.
> Migration will be handle through documentation as well, indicating where the
> properties must be moved.
