Overview

Python config-client is a library for integration and usage with Spring Cloud Config.

Usage

The needed configuration to use config-client can be set through:

environment variables; or
arguments.

Using environment variables

The following presents the default values:

CONFIGSERVER_ADDRESS=http://localhost:8888
LABEL=master
PROFILE=development
APP_NAME= # empyt string
CONFIG_FAIL_FAST=True

By default, the value of the environment variable CONFIG_FAIL_FAST is set to True, so if any error occurs while contacting the server, a SystemExit(1) exception will be raised; otherwise, a ConnectionError exception is raised.

Security

The config-client can interact with the Spring Cloud Config encryption and decryption API.

Encryption

example-encryption.py
from config import ConfigClient

client = ConfigClient()
client.encrypt('my_secret')
# for example: a3c3333956a1ab2ade8b8219e36d0a4cb97d9a2789cbbcd858ea4ef3130563c6

Decryption

example-decryption.py
from config import ConfigClient

client = ConfigClient()
client.decrypt(
  'a3c3333956a1ab2ade8b8219e36d0a4cb97d9a2789cbbcd858ea4ef3130563c6'
)
# for example: my_secret
