Using the DCLI Configuration Store

The configuration store is a store for key-value tuples. It stores simple key-value items in dictionary-like way.
The configuration store has profiles. Profiles isolate key-value pairs. DCLI uses a default profile. You can specify the default profile by using the
default_profile
 key.
In the following example, the default profile is labeled
default
. Each profile first specifies key-value items for a given module. The example contains the
vmc
 and
vsphere
 modules. For more information about modules, see DCLI Modules. The profile then specifies the server you want the key-value pair to be valid for, and also that this pair should be used for the default options DCLI functionality. For more information about default options, see Using Default Options.

Configuration Store Path

The default DCLI configuration store path is
$HOME/.dcli/.dcli_configuration
. You can set a different configuration store path by using either the
DCLI_CONFIGFILE
 environment variable or the
+credstore-file
 option.
