## Consul keys
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consul keys can be used within your template using the `consul_key` function.
|
||||||
|
This function is available *only* within the default value of a user variable,
|
||||||
|
for reasons similar to environment variables above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"variables": {
|
||||||
|
"soft_versions": "{{ consul_key `my_image/softs_versions/next` }}"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will default `soft_versions` to the value of the key `my_image/softs_versions/next`
|
||||||
|
in consul.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The configuration for consul (address, tokens, ...) must be specified as environment variables,
|
||||||
|
as specified in the [Documentation](https://www.consul.io/docs/commands/index.html#environment-variables).
