Configuring ADE with environment variables¶
For every ade
command’s arguments, there is a corresponding environment
variable that can be used to configure each argument’s default behavior.
The environment variables follow the following pattern
ADE_[ADE_COMMAND]_[OPTION_OR_ARGUMENT]
.
In addition to the command-specific variables, the ADE_NAME
can be used
to change the name of the ADE instance. This variable is especially useful
when Starting multiple ADE instances at once.
For example, the default behavior of ade start
is just to start the container,
but often, it is desired to also enter the container directly after starting,
so ade start
has the --enter
option:
$ ade start --enter
ade$ # Inside ADE prompt
It is possible to set the default behavior of ade start
by setting the
ADE_START_ENTER
variable:
$ export ADE_START_ENTER=true
$ ade start
ade$ # Inside ADE prompt
To make the configuration permanent, add the export
to:
The
~/.bashrc
file on the host, for personal configurationsThe
.aderc
file on the project, for project-wide configuration, see The .aderc File
