config

Config module.

class homer.config.HierarchicalConfig(base_path: str, *, private_base_path: str = '')

Bases: object

Load configuration with hierarchical override based on role, site and device.

Initialize the instance.

Parameters:

• base_path (str) -- the base path from where the configuration files should be loaded. The configuration files that will be loaded, if existing, are: - common.yaml: common key:value pairs - roles.yaml: one key for each role with key:value pairs of role-specific configuration - sites.yaml: one key for each site with key:value pairs of role-specific configuration

• private_base_path (str, optional) -- the base path from where the private configuration files should be loaded, with the same structure of the above base_path argument. If existing, private configuration files cannot have top level keys in common with the public configuration.

get(device: Device) → Dict

Get the generated configuration for a specific device instance with all the overrides resolved.

Parameters:

device (homer.devices.Device) -- the device instance.

Raises:

homer.exceptions.HomerError -- if any top level key is present in both the private and public configuration.

Returns:

the generated device-specific configuration dictionary. The override order is: common, role, site, device. Public and private configuration are merged together.

Return type:

dict

homer.config.ip_address_constructor(loader: SafeLoader, node: ScalarNode) → str | IPv4Address | IPv6Address

Casts a string into a ipaddress.ip_address object.

Parameters:

• loader (yaml loader) -- YAML loaded on which to apply the constructor

• node -- (str): string to be casted

Returns:

an IPv4 or v6 address object str: if not possible, return the original string

Return type:

ipaddress

homer.config.ip_network_constructor(loader: SafeLoader, node: ScalarNode) → str | IPv4Network | IPv6Network | IPv4Interface | IPv6Interface

Casts a string into a ipaddress.ip_network or ip_interface object.

Parameters:

• loader (yaml loader) -- YAML loaded on which to apply the constructor

• node -- (str): string to be casted

Returns:

an IPv4 or v6 Network or Interface object str: if not possible, return the original string

Return type:

ipaddress

homer.config.load_yaml_config(config_file: str) → Dict

Parse a YAML config file and return it.

Parameters:

config_file (str) -- the path of the configuration file.

Returns:

the parsed config or an empty dictionary if the file doesn't exists.

Return type:

dict

Raises:

HomerError -- if failed to load the configuration.
