Config files

A config file is a file Meshploy writes into a service’s containers at a path you choose, such as /etc/nginx/conf.d/app.conf or /app/config.json. It sits beside whatever the image already has in that folder, without replacing it. Its content is stored encrypted, so it can hold credentials.

Attaching

A file is attached to one or more services. Editing it re-applies every service it is attached to, so they pick up the new content. A file that is still attached cannot be deleted: detach it from each service first.

A file can be up to 256 KB.

Terms
