As a GoAWS Docker user, I would like to pass AWS related information as parameter so I can use GoAWS together with other local AWS services, such as Local DynamoDB

I'm currently using a local DynamoDB Docker which supports the parameters below and as many of us do use SNS/SQS within other AWS services, would be nice to have these options so we could use GoAWS with other AWS local services.

-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret aws --region us-east-1 dynamodb --endpoint http://localhost:8000/

@danielpsf I apologize but I am not exactly sure what you are asking for me to implement. Can you give me a bit more detail on what the goaws code would do with the extra parameters...

[danielpsf]

Hi @p4tin,

I would like to have all my local environment with the same parameters, such as AWS credentials and region, so I can start other AWS local components like DynamoDB or Kinesis and yet have the same configuration.
So, if you implement a parameter like AWS_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_REGION we could easily achieve a local complex environment setup with a couple of docker runs.

What do you think?

[p4tin]

Sorry again I am still confused... Are those docker parameters? or do you want goaws to accept ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES instead of using the config.yaml?

[danielpsf]

Well, they can be docker parameters, but it also would be alright to use the config.yaml to configure the AWS_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY and AWS_REGION. I haven't noticed it on https://github.com/p4tin/goaws/blob/master/app/conf/goaws.yaml (which I think is the config model).

As you've shown here we've to use X/X to access the GoAWS service. What I'm saying is that it would be nice to have a way of set those details into the docker during start time, so we can develop within a larger ecosystem of applications that also require that kind of information.

I don't know if what I'm asking is already developed, I can be missing something that is already done and can solve this issue. If that is the case, sorry 😊.

@danielpsf - I got where the confusion comes from now - lol... goaws does not actually use the credentials you pass to it in the connection strings for anything - I blindly accepts anything you put in there so you can have an environment variable if you want or like I put there X/X. Does that answer you question?

[danielpsf]

Wow, nice... Thanks man 😉
