Add env files back in for secrets - hides them from process lists and
allows you to pick up the latest env file when running
`kamal app exec` without reusing.
Validate the Kamal configuration giving useful warning on errors.
Each section of the configuration has its own config class and a YAML
file containing documented example configuration.
You can run `kamal docs` to see the example configuration, and
`kamal docs <section>` to see the example configuration for a specific
section.
The validation matches the configuration to the example configuration
checking that there are no unknown keys and that the values are of
matching types.
Where there is more complex validation - e.g for envs and servers, we
have custom validators that implement those rules.
Additonally the configuration examples are used to generate the
configuration documentation in the kamal-site repo.
You generate them by running:
```
bundle exec bin/docs <kamal-site-checkout>
```
Secret and clear env variables have different lifecycles. The clear ones
are part of the repo, so it makes sense to always deploy them with the
rest of the repo.
The secret ones are external so we can't be sure that they are up to
date, therefore they require an explicit push via `envify` or `env push`.
We'll keep the env file, but now it just contains secrets. The clear
values are passed directly to `docker run`.
Setting env variables in the docker arguments requires having them on
the deploy host.
Instead we'll add two new commands `kamal env push` and
`kamal env delete` which will manage copying the environment as .env
files to the remote host.
Docker will pick up the file with `--env-file <path-to-file>`. Env files
will be stored under `<kamal run directory>/env`.
Running `kamal env push` will create env files for each role and
accessory, and traefik if required.
`kamal envify` has been updated to also push the env files.
By avoiding using `kamal envify` and creating the local and remote
secrets manually, you can now avoid accessing secrets needed
for the docker runtime environment locally. You will still need build
secrets.
One thing to note - the Docker doesn't parse the environment variables
in the env file, one result of this is that you can't specify multi-line
values - see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/12997.
We maybe need to look docker config or docker secrets longer term to get
around this.
Hattip to @kevinmcconnell - this was all his idea.
