Hi, is there an environment variable with which I can pass the `config.yml`or is

--config

CLI argument the only way to do it? Can’t find anything here in the docs.

Hello. You can pass it using any variable by your choice. You can use

OATHKEEPER_CONFIG

for instance

That’s great! Is the value supposed to contain the path to a file or the config itself? `OATHKEEPER_CONFIG`is not documented on https://www.ory.sh/docs/oathkeeper/ AFAICT so that’s why I didn’t find it.

OATHKEEPER_CONFIG

variable is not part of oathkeeper but still you can specify absolute path to the config and run it the following way

Copy code

export OATHKEEPER_CONFIG=/etc/config/oathkeeper.conf
oathkeeper serve -c $OATHKEEPER_CONF

Ah, I see. That’s obviously a solution 😄

Not what I intended though… My intention of using an env-var for the path was to be able to deploy (or use in docker-compose) the docker container without needing to override the docker

COMMAND

So if Oathkeeper had a

OATHKEEPER_CONFIG

or `OATHKEEPER_CONFIG_PATH`variable it would be simpler to make a deployment / local dev env with docker-compose
