Modify the Fuel CLI configuration file

The Fuel CLI uses the fuel_client.yaml file as a source for default settings. By default, Fuel stores the fuel_client.yaml file in the ~/.config/ directory.

To change the default directory:

1. Log in to the Fuel CLI.

2. Set the required directory path:

   $ export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/path/to/fuel_client.yaml/

   where XDG_CONFIG_HOME points to the fuel_client.yaml file directory.

To specify custom settings:

1. Log in to the Fuel CLI.

2. Edit the fuel_client.yaml file.

   Alternatively, create a new YAML-formatted file:

   1. Create a .yaml file with the required settings.

   2. Export the FUELCLIENT_CUSTOM_SETTINGS variable:

      $ export FUELCLIENT_CUSTOM_SETTINGS="~/custom.conf"

      where "~/custom.conf" is the path to the new configuration file.

   3. Optionally, add the export to the .bashrc file:

      $ echo 'export FUELCLIENT_CUSTOM_SETTINGS="~/custom.conf"' >> ~/.bashrc

Note

Custom settings override the default ones. Top-level values may also be set as environment variables.

Example:

$ export SERVER_PORT=8080
