Configuration Parameters for Release Runners

The configuration parameters for Release Runners are set or overridden using the configuration files, environment variables, or command line switches.

The configuration is performed in the following order:

  • Default configuration file
  • Configuration files defined by the --profiles switch on the command line
  • Environment variables
  • Configuration switches on the command line

The default values are set from the default configuration file that is available inside the Release Runner image. This image also contains predefined environment related configuration files.

Note: Start the runner using the --profiles switch to pick up these configurations.

Additionally, if you want to change single settings, you can either use the environment variables or command line switches. For example, you must export the RELEASE_RUNNER_PROFILE=docker environment value.

Configuration parameters​

Property NameEnvironment VariableDescription
release.runner.profileRELEASE_RUNNER_PROFILEAn active runner profile such as Kubernetes or Docker.
release.runner.release-urlRELEASE_RUNNER_RELEASE_URLRelease server URL.
release.runner.tokenRELEASE_RUNNER_TOKENPersonal Access Token (PAT) for the Release server (defined in Release configuration).
release.runner.capabilitiesRELEASE_RUNNER_CAPABILITIESA default set of Runner capabilities.
release.runner.nameRELEASE_RUNNER_NAMEName of the Runner.
release.runner.versionRELEASE_RUNNER_VERSIONVersion of the Runner that should be inline with the published version.
release.runner.store-nameRELEASE_RUNNER_STORE_NAMEName of the Runner data store file.
release.runner.store-in-k8sRELEASE_RUNNER_STORE_IN_K8SWhen set to true, it indicates the preference for using Secrets instead of an instance of Bolt database. It is recommended to set this variable to true when running in a Kubernetes cluster. However, when you set it to true outside of a kKubernetes cluster, it will result in initialization errors. This switch should be used when you want to avoid the need for creating volumes
release.runner.cached-storeRELEASE_RUNNER_CACHED_STOREUse cache wrapper to the store, to optimize performance of store. It is recommended when you set release.runner.store-in-k8s to true.
release.runner.key-passwordRELEASE_RUNNER_KEY_PASSWORDPrivate key password.
release.runner.log-levelRELEASE_RUNNER_LOG_LEVELThe log level options of the release runner are as follows:
  • 0=DEBUG
  • 1=INFO
  • 2=WARN
  • 3=ERROR
  • 4=FATAL
  • 5=PANIC
  • 6=NONE
  • 7=DISABLED
.
release.runner.json-loggingRELEASE_RUNNER_JSON_LOGGINGOutput logs in json format.
release.runner.health.addressRELEASE_RUNNER_HEALTH_ADDRESSAn address at which the health service runs. You can change the port on which the service is running. The defaults value is 0.0.0.0:8686.
release.runner.logging.script-logRELEASE_RUNNER_LOGGING_SCRIPT_LOGSet to SILENT, LOG, or SEND.
  • SILENT option ignores the logs from script execution.
  • LOG option writes script execution logs into release runner logs. This is the default and recommended option.
  • SEND option sends script logs back to the release log endpoint. Currently, this is not supported.
release.runner.rest-client.proxy-enabledRELEASE_RUNNER_REST_CLIENT_PROXY_ENABLEDSet to true, if the Release server is reached through a proxy server.

release.runner.kubernetes.in-cluster-configRELEASE_RUNNER_KUBERNETES_IN_CLUSTER_CONFIGUsed in cluster configuration for managing the cluster. The default value is true. You can set to false only for development purposes.
release.runner.kubernetes.kubeconfig-pathRELEASE_RUNNER_KUBERNETES_KUBECONFIG_PATHIf the release.runner.kubernetes.in-cluster-config is set to false, use the kubeconfig file as the configuration for the cluster. YOu can use this only for development purposes.
release.runner.kubernetes.pod-hostnameRELEASE_RUNNER_KUBERNETES_POD_HOSTNAMEHostname under which the pod is available from the outside.
