Suricatta and swupdate.cfg file

[Diego Rondini]

Hi SWUpdaters,

I'd like to specify suricatta parameters in the swupdate.cfg, as shown in the
example file here:
https://github.com/sbabic/swupdate/blob/master/examples/configuration/
swupdate.cfg#L107

Unfortunately it seems id, tenant and url need to be passed as command line
arguments anyway to activate the "suricatta mode".

What I mean is that I'd like to start swupdate just with "swupdate -f
swupdate.cfg" and have every option decided by the config file.

Am I missing something or is that area still work-in-progress?

Bests,
Diego

The options are set, but you have to pass which modules (downloader /
webserver /backend) must be started.

Yes.

You have to use:

swupdate -f swupdate.cfg -u ""

The empty string says to start suricatta, but all parameters are taken
from the configuration file. Command line parameters overwrite the
values in swupdate.cfg, that means you can also:

swupdate -f swupdate.cfg -u "-t pippo"

and this overwrites the value in the .cfg.

You can decide to start SWUpdate with more as one module, for example:

swupdate -f swupdate.cfg -u "" -w ""

This starts both suricatta and the webserver.

No.

Best regards,
Stefano

Ah, thanks, I didn't think of using two double quotes to send an empty string.

Thank you very much,
Diego
