easydb-server.yml

easydb-server.yml is the typical main configuration file for the containers easydb-server and easydb-webfrontend. But it is not the only one. For more information on this, see configuration.

easydb-server.yml is read from the subdirectory config of the base directory which was chosen during installation.

Types

The supported types are:

Easydb-Type	YAML-Type	Comments
String	String
Integer	Integer
Boolean	Boolean, String, Integer	`true`: `true, "on", "1", 1`
		`false`: `false, "off", "0", 0, null`, not set
File	String	either absolute or relative to the YAML file in which the variable is defined
Catalogue	String	as file
File-List	Sequence of Strings	not set = `null` = empty list
		each file is absolute or relative to the YAML file in which it is defined, i.e. a list can contain files with different relative paths

Variables are structured in maps, but a general map is not a valid type for a variable.

replacements

If a variable has already been defined, its value is replaced if it is redefined at a later time. Further opportunities are:

variable+: adds a new value (only valid for lists). Example: Activate two more plugins with the list “enabled”:

  plugins:
    enabled+:
      - base.custom-data-type-link
      - base.custom-data-type-gnd

variable-:
- if the variable is a list, the specified values are deleted from the list
- if the variable is a scalar, it becomes undefined
- if the variable is a map, all variables below it are undefined
variable-key: only for lists of maps, remove all entries from the list whose value for “key” is included in the specified list
