**Attention:** The `master` branch contains the next major version, still unstable and under heavy development. A more stable (and also older) version is available as a Bash script in [release 0.1.1](https://github.com/greenled/portainer-stack-utils/releases/0.1.1). There is ongoing work in `1-0-next` branch to enhace that Bash version.
This application was created for the latest Portainer API, which at the time of writing is [1.22.0](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/deviantony/Portainer/1.22.0).
Commands can have subcommands, like `stack ls` and `stack deploy` in the previous example. They can also have aliases (i.e. `create` and `up` are aliases of `deploy`).
Some flags are global, which means they affect every command (i.e. `--log-level`), while others are local, which mean they only affect the command they belong to (i.e. `--stack-file` flag from `deploy` command). Also, some flags have a short version (i.e `--insecure`, `-i`).
The program can be configured through [inline flags](#inline-flags) (i.e. `--user`), [environment variables](#environment-variables) (i.e. `PSU_USER=admin`) and/or [configuration files](#configuration-files), which translate into multi-level configuration keys in the form `x[.y[.z[...]]]`. Run `psu config ls` to see all available configuration options.
*Note that all supported environment variables are prefixed with "PSU_" to avoid name clashing. Characters "-" and "." in configuration key names are replaced with "_" in environment variable names.*
Configuration can be set through a configuration file. Supported file formats are [JSON](#json-configuration-file), TOML, [YAML](#yaml-configuration-file), HCL, envfile and Java properties config files. Use the `--config` global flag to specify a configuration file. File `$HOME/.psu.yaml` is used by default if present.
You will often want to set environment variables in your deployed stacks. You can do so through the `stack.deploy.env-file` [configuration key](#configuration). :
You can control how much noise you want the program to do by setting the log level. There are seven log levels:
- *panic*: Unexpected errors that stop program execution.
- *fatal*: Expected errors that stop program execution.
- *error*: Errors that should definitely be noted but don't stop the program execution.
- *warning*: Non-critical events that deserve eyes.
- *info*: General events about what's going on inside the program. This is the default level.
- *debug*: Very verbose logging. Usually only enabled when debugging.
- *trace*: Finer-grained logging than the *debug* level.
**WARNING**: **trace** level will print sensitive information, like Portainer API requests and responses (with authentication tokens, stacks environment variables, and so on). Avoid using **trace** level in CI/CD environments, as those logs are usually recorded.
