My Immediate Needs: | |
- be able to extend the config file with new properties w/o breaking existing code | |
- in particular, I want to add new HTTP headers so I can add new code to docker to send them on each HTTP request | |
Longer-term things I think we'll need: | |
- allow for user to specify config file location when running docker (e.g docker --config <file> ) | |
I think this is mainly needed so we can run multiple CLIs at the same time and each can have its own | |
config data - like auth headers, dockerHost, etc... and asking users to pass all of this in on the | |
cmd line or via env vars is a bit tedious. | |
- add Docker env vars to config file so 3rd party tooling can set them (e.g. DOCKER_HOST, http headers) | |
Next steps: | |
- modify existing code/config-file so that new properties can be added in a well-defined way that won't | |
break the auth/registry code | |
- create PRs: | |
1 - add new http headers to config file + code to send it to daemon | |
2 - add DockerHost to config file if Machine needs it |
