How configuration snippets work

Configuration snippets in {product-title} are YAML files in /etc/microshift/config.d/ that merge with the existing configuration at runtime. You can use them to change one or two settings without editing the main config file.

You must restart MicroShift for new configurations to apply.

To return to previous values, you can delete a configuration snippet and restart MicroShift.

At runtime, the YAML files inside /etc/microshift/config.d are merged into the existing MicroShift configuration, whether that configuration is a result of default values or a user-created config.yaml file. You do not need to create a config.yaml file to use a configuration snippet.

Files in the snippet directory are sorted in lexicographical order and run sequentially. You can use numerical prefixes for snippets so that each is read in the order you want. The last-read file takes precedence when there is more than one YAML for the same parameter.

Important

Configuration snippets take precedence over both default values and a customized config.yaml configuration file.
