Convenience utilities for Python applications in Docker containers.
- Get current container ID
get_current_container_id()Returns the ID of the container the application is currently running in,
otherwise returns None if not running in a container.
This is done on a best-effort basis, guessed from the information in
/proc/self/cgroup
- Read configuration values
read_configuration(key, path=None, default=None,
single_config=False, fallback_to_env=True)A convenient way to read configuration values from files with an option
to fall back to using environment variables.
This can come handy to pass in multiple configuration options as key-value pairs
using Docker configs or secrets when working with Swarm services.
When single_config is True, the configuration file is treated as a single text value
which is useful to read JSON configuration for example for an application.
