## Configuration Framework
In order to simplify deployments and development the configuration model from oCIS aims to be simple yet flexible.
## Overview of the approach
{{< svg src="ocis/static/ocis-config-redesign.drawio.svg" >}}
## In-depth configuration
Since we include a set of predefined extensions within the single binary, configuring an extension can be done in a variety of ways. Since we work with complex types, having as many cli per config value scales poorly, so we limited the options to config files and environment variables, leaving cli flags for shared values, such as config file sources (`--config-file`) or logging (`--log-level`, `--log-pretty`, `--log-file` or `--log-color`).
The hierarchy is clear enough, leaving us with a clear:
_(each element above overwrites its precedent)_
1. env variables
2. extension config
3. ocis config
This is manifested in the previous diagram. We can then speak about "configuration file arithmetics", where resulting config transformations happen through a series of steps with the sources mentioned previously. An administrator must be aware of this sources, since mis-managing them can be a source of confusion, having undesired transformations on config files believed not to be applied.
## Flows
Let's explore the various flows with examples and workflows.
### Examples
Let's explore with examples this approach.
#### Only config files
The following config files are present in the default loading locations:
_ocis.yaml_
```yaml
proxy:
http:
addr: localhost:1111
log:
pretty: false
color: false
level: info
accounts:
http:
addr: localhost:2222
log:
level: debug
color: false
pretty: false
log:
pretty: true
color: true
level: info
```
_proxy.yaml_
```yaml
http:
addr: localhost:3333
```
_accounts.yaml_
```yaml
http:
addr: localhost:4444
```
Note that the extension files will overwrite values from the main `ocis.yaml`, causing `ocis server` to run with the following configuration:
```yaml
proxy:
http:
addr: localhost:3333
accounts:
http:
addr: localhost:4444
log:
pretty: true
color: true
level: info
```
#### Using ENV variables
The logging configuration if defined in the main ocis.yaml is inherited by all extensions. It can be, however, overwritten by a single extension file if desired. The same example can be used to demonstrate environment values overwrites. With the same set of config files now we have the following command `PROXY_HTTP_ADDR=localhost:5555 ocis server`, now the resulting config looks like:
```yaml
proxy:
http:
addr: localhost:5555
accounts:
http:
addr: localhost:4444
log:
pretty: true
color: true
level: info
```
### Workflows
Since one can run an extension using the runtime (supervised) or not (unsupervised), we ensure correct behavior in both modes, expecting the same outputs.
#### Supervised
You are using the supervised mode whenever you issue the `ocis server` command. We start the runtime on port `9250` (by default) that listens for commands regarding the lifecycle of the supervised extensions. When an extension runs supervised and is killed, the only way to provide / overwrite configuration values will be through an extension config file. This is due to the parent process has already started, and it already has its own environment. This is a living design document, and if the need arise where we want to stick to the loading defaults, we could.
#### Unsupervised
All the points from the priority section hold true. An unsupervised extension can be started with the format: `ocis [extension]` i.e: `ocis proxy`. First, `ocis.yaml` are parsed, the `proxy.yaml` and finally any environment variables.
## Default config values (in yaml)
TBD. Needs to be generated and merged with the env mappings.
