Environment variables

Environment variables can be set by using the export command in Linux or the set command in Windows.

dotenv files

KPOps currently supports .env files only for variables related to the config. Full support for .env files is on the roadmap. One of the possible ways to use one and export the contents manually is with the following command: export $(xargs < .env). This would work in bash suppose there are no spaces inside the values.

Config

These variables take precedence over the settings in config.yaml. Variables marked as required can instead be set in the global config.

CLI

These variables take precedence over the commands' flags. If a variable is set, the corresponding flag does not have to be specified in commands. Variables marked as required can instead be set as flags.

Name	Default Value	Required	Description
KPOPS_CONFIG_PATH	.	False	Path to the dir containing config.yaml files
KPOPS_DOTENV_PATH		False	Path to dotenv file. Multiple files can be provided. The files will be loaded in order, with each file overriding the previous one.
KPOPS_ENVIRONMENT		False	The environment you want to generate and deploy the pipeline to. Suffix your environment files with this value (e.g. defaults_development.yaml for environment=development).
KPOPS_OPERATION_MODE	managed	False	How KPOps should operate.
KPOPS_PIPELINE_PATHS		True	Paths to dir containing 'pipeline.yaml' or files named 'pipeline.yaml'.
KPOPS_PIPELINE_STEPS		False	Comma separated list of steps to apply the command on
