Jinja Runner
Description
This is a very simple runner for Jinja templating. Run in python, it supports multiple "sites" and very basic (not super secure) secrets keeping.
Files & Format
globals.json- This should be in the local dir. Variables are accessed by{{ global.variable }}. "secret" cannot be a variable name.sites.json- This should be in the local dir. Variables are accessed by{{ variable }}. Specific sites are accessed via the command line. "global" and "secret" cannot be variable names.secrets.json- This should be in~/.secrets/. Variables are accessed by{{ global.secret.variable }}site_secrets.json- This should be in~/.secrets/. Variables are accessed by `{{ secret.variable }}
Running Jinja Runner
Basic usage out of the box: python jinja_runner.py sitecode template.txt changes template.txt into:
This is just a regular text file...
but it has some Jinja2 mixed in.
For example, each site is different and has a name, e.g. Site Name
I might want to use an IP address like:
10.10.10.0/24
I might also want to use the next /24 following this one:
10.10.11.0/24
Maybe that site name looks better in all caps: SITE NAME
... this is pretty basic Jinja with a pretty basic runner to show how things work.
but it also includes some secrets!!
If you don't KNOW the {{ global.secret.SecretVar }}, it'll just put the Jinja code back in (this is 1-for-1 -- don't do math with this simple example).
oh... and don't name a site "secrets" - or anything else that overlaps your secrets.json! You'll get confused even if Python won't.
Running without arguments, or with -h, --help:
jinja_runner.py requires two arguments:
(1) site-code (e.g. xmpl1)
(2) template file
To include secrets, create a directory and file in ~/.secrets/secrets.json (using ./secrets.json as a template) then run as before:
