Consul template is a templating language from Hashicorp used to create file templates (usually config files) Collection of consul-template examples for common issues.
It uses a fork of (https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/)[Golang templating language] which may present a steep initial learning curve, so the need of a simple sandbox to toy with.
We also include a Dockerfile to run the code and print the output file. To run the container just name your file test.ctmpl and type in the command line
docker build .
The Docker container downloads a compiled binary of consul-template, parses the template and cat the result to the command line
You can provide some arguments during the build process with the option --build-arg.
The resulting build command should look something like this:
docker build --build-arg INPUT_FILE=remove_evaluated_lines .The available options are:
INPUT_FILE=remove_evaluated_lines: specifies which input file to be compiled. Default test
