[Starlingx-discuss] <StarlingX 2018.10> Config-file approach to run Config-controller

[Anirudh Gupta]

Hi Team,

I am using StarlingX 2018.10 Release and want to reduce the manual effort in running "config-controller".
For this I found a way in which we can pass a Config-File as a parameter while running the "config-controller".

localhost:~$ config_controller --help
Usage: /usr/bin/config_controller
Perform system configuration

The default action is to perform the initial configuration for the system.
The following options are also available:
--config-file <name>     Perform configuration using INI file
--backup <name>          Backup configuration using the given name
--clone-iso <name>       Clone and create an image with the given file name
--clone-status           Status of the last installation of cloned image
--restore-system <name>  Restore system configuration from backup file with
                         the given name, full path required
--restore-images <name>  Restore images from backup file with the given name,
                         full path required
--restore-complete       Complete restore of controller-0--allow-ssh              Allow configuration to be executed in ssh

But I can't find any Sample config-file available in the documents.

Also I found a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1814833 which has issue in running the config_file.

Can someone please tell if the method of passing config-file in supported in StarlingX 2018.10?

If yes, can you please share a sample config-file?
If the method is not supported, can someone please share a method to reduce the manual efforts and automate the inputs required in the config_controller?
