Configuration

Configuring Tarmac

Tarmac supports multiple configuration sources such as Environment Variables, JSON files, or using HashiCorp Consul. All of these configuration options can also exist together to provide both static and dynamic configurations.

When using Environment Variables, all configurations are prefixed with APP_. The list below will show both Environment and Consul/JSON format for configuration.
