Generating the Configuration File

The tool supports a generate-config subcommand which triggers a step-by-step wizard. This wizard then asks questions to build up the configuration file.

An example of this can be seen below.

It can be started by running vvw generate-config -f OUTPUT_FILE_PATH, substituting in the desired output path.

$ vvw help generate-config
Builds up a config file suitable for use with the apply command by asking questions about the Vault setup

Usage:
  vvw generate-config [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for generate-config

Global Flags:
  -f, --configFile string   Path to config file to use to configure Venafi Vault plugin (default "vvw_config.hcl")

For certain questions, an environment variable can be used with the dollar-sign syntax used by bash, e.g. $VAR_NAME. This gets translated into env("VAR_NAME") in the config file. However, this only works with questions that make sense for an environment variable, such as API keys and TPP authentication details.
