- For production you would use docker and kubernetes. And use a ConfigMap mapped as a Volume in your service (see dflag/configmap for how/sample yaml files)
- For local testing you can use Docker Desktop Or simply run from command line and simulate the changes
- initialize empty tmp mapping
mkdir -p /tmp/foobarfor kubernetes - run the server
go run .
you should see the following:
17:52:31 I updater.go:92> Now watching /tmp and /tmp/foobar
17:52:31 I updater.go:55> Configmap flag value watching initialized on /tmp/foobar
17:52:31 I updater.go:157> Starting watching
17:52:31 I http.go:58> Serving at: 0.0.0.0:8080
- see port you are serving
- visit the debug flag endpoint http://localhost:8080/debug/flags
Should see this if successful:
And you can update the flags right there in the URL -or- change a value in the configmap directory:
echo "456" > /tmp/foobar/example_my_dynamic_int
you will see in the logs:
17:56:24 I updater.go:151> updating example_my_dynamic_int to "456\n"
And the value is changed on the url as well (the \n is ignored during int parsing)
