### Configuration
Each flag can be set inline (i.e. `--debug`), through an environment variable (i.e. `PSU_DEBUG=true`) and through a configuration file ([see below](#with-configuration-file)). All three methods can be combined, but if a flag is set more than once the order of precedence is:
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.
1. Inline flag
2. Environment variable
All three methods can be combined. If a configuration key is set in several places the order of precedence is:
1. Inline flags
2. Environment variables
3. Configuration file
4. Default values
#### With inline flags
#### Inline flags
Each command has it's own flags. Run `psu [COMMAND [SUBCOMMAND]] --help` to see each command's flag set.
Configuration can be set through inline flags. Valid combinations of commands and flags directly map to configuration keys:
```bash
psu --help
psu stack --help
psu stack deploy --help
```
| Configuration key | Command | Flag |
| :---------------- | :------ | :--- |
| user | psu | --user |
| stack.list.format | psu stack list | --format |
| stack.deploy.env-file | stack deploy | --env-file |
#### With environment variables
Run `psu help COMMAND` to see all available flags for a given command.
This is particularly useful for CI/CD pipelines.
#### Environment variables
Environment variables can be bound to flags following the `PSU_[COMMAND_[SUBCOMMAND_]]FLAG` naming pattern:
Configuration can be set through environment variables. Supported environment variables follow the `PSU_[COMMAND_[SUBCOMMAND_]]FLAG` naming pattern:
| Command and subcommand | Flag | Environment variable | Comment |
| :--------------------- | :--- | :------------------- | :------ |
| | --verbose | PSU_VERBOSE=true | All environment variables are prefixed with "PSU_" |
| stack list | --quiet | PSU_STACK_LIST_QUIET=true | Commands and subcommands are uppercased and joined with "_" |
| stack deploy | --env-file .env | PSU_STACK_DEPLOY_ENV_FILE=.env | Characters "-" in flag name are replaced with "_" |
| Configuration key | Environment variable |
| :---------------- | :------------------- |
| user | PSU_USER |
| stack.list.format | PSU_STACK_LIST_FORMAT |
| stack.deploy.env-file | PSU_STACK_DEPLOY_ENV_FILE |
#### With configuration file
*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.*
Flags can be bound to a configuration file. Use the `--config` flag to specify a configuration file to load flags from. By default the file `$HOME/.psu.yaml` is used if present.
#### Configuration files
#### Using Yaml
Configuration can be set through a configuration file. Supported file formats are [JSON](#json-configuration-file), TOML, [YAML](#yaml-configuration-file), HCL, envfile and Java properties config files. Use the `--config` global flag to specify a configuration file. File `$HOME/.psu.yaml` is used by default if present.
If you use a Yaml configuration file:
##### YAML configuration file
```text
[command:
[subcommand:]]
flag: value
```
A Yaml configuration file should look like this:
```yaml
verbose: true
url: http://localhost:10000
log-level: debug
user: admin
insecure: true
stack.list.format: table
stack:
deploy.env-file: .env
deploy:
stack-file: docker-compose.yml
env-file: .env
list:
quiet: true
```
This is valid too:
*Note that flat and nested keys are both valid.*
```text
[command.[subcommand.]]flag: value
```
##### JSON configuration file
```yaml
verbose: true
url: http://localhost:10000
insecure: true
stack.deploy.stack-file: docker-compose.yml
stack.deploy.env-file: .env
stack.list.quiet: true
```
#### Using Json
If you use a Json configuration file:
```text
{
["command": {
["subcommand": {]]
"flag": value
[}]
[}]
{
```
A JSON configuration file should look like this:
```json
{
"verbose": true,
"url": "http://localhost:10000",
"log-level": "debug",
"user": "admin",
"insecure": true,
"stack.list.format": "table",
"stack": {
"deploy.env-file": ".env",
"deploy": {
"stack-file": "docker-compose.yml",
"env-file": ".env"
},
"list": {
"quiet": true
"stack-file": "docker-compose.yml"
}
}
}
```
This is valid too:
```text
{
"[command.[subcommand.]]flag": value
}
```
```json
{
"verbose": true,
"url": "http://localhost:10000",
"insecure": true,
"stack.deploy.stack-file": "docker-compose.yml",
"stack.deploy.env-file": ".env",
"stack.list.quiet": true
}
```
*Note that flat and nested keys are both valid.*

**WARNING**: Debug mode will print configuration values (with Portainer credentials) and Portainer API responses (with sensitive information like authentication token and stacks environment variables). Avoid using debug mode in CI/CD pipelines, as pipeline logs are usually recorded.
