Labctl settings

~/.labctl.yml

You can provide your own color settings by creating ~/.labctl.yml and adding regex/color pairs under the colorize key

Labctl includes default settings, they are kept here in case you want to propose updates, below an extract from settings.

colorize:
  - regex: '\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+(/\d+)?'
    color: magenta
  - regex: "(?i)\b(true|valid|used)\b"
    color: hiwhite,bold
  - regex: "(?i)(false|none)"
    color: hired
  - regex: shutdown
    color: yellow
  - regex: '(?i)\b(error|down)\b'
    color: red
  - regex: '(?i)(\benabled?|\bup\b)'
    color: green
  - regex: "(?i)\bdisabled?"
    color: yellow

The setting are displayed when you run labctl color --test or when you add the debug flag labctl -d color ...

Command line args

.labctl.json

You can specify commonly used command line arguments in a file. Command line args will be loaded in the following order:

1. A json file in the home directory - ~/.labctl.json
2. A json file in the current directory (next to the topology) - ./.labctl.json
3. Command line arguments

This could be especially helpful for template folders. The following config allows you to use labctl serve without any additional arguments.

{
	"template_paths": ["../shared_templates", "./templates"],
	"addr": ":8004",
	"url": "/my_url"
}
