[FEATURE] `balena env add --file </path/to/.env>` to read .env file
Problem: Currently the only way to add an env. var via CLI is by using env add command, which only allows to set a single variable at the time. This approach is not very efficient when there are several env. vars.
Possible solution:
It would be nice to be able to read several vars from an .env file and add them to a Fleet/Device.
For example, balena end add --file </path/to/.env>
Context: CLI version: 13.3.0
env commands include:
env add <name> [value] add env or config variable to fleets, devices or services
env rename <id> <value> change the value of a config or env var for a fleet, device or service
env rm <id> remove a config or env var from a fleet, device or service
Run balena help -v for a list of all available commands,
or balena help <command> for detailed help on a specific command.
Hello @AndreMaz , I made the following script to solve the problem you describe:
`#!/bin/bash
if [ "$#" -lt 2 ]; then
echo "Uso: $0 <fleet_name> <env_file_path>
FLEET_NAME="$1" ENV_FILE="$2" shift 2 SERVICE_ARRAY=("$@")
for SERVICE_NAME in "${SERVICE_ARRAY[@]}"; do while IFS= read -r line || [ -n "$line" ]; do if [ -n "$line" ]; then IFS='=' read -r var value <<< "$line" echo "balena env add --fleet "$FLEET_NAME" $var $value --service "$SERVICE_NAME"" balena env add --fleet "$FLEET_NAME" $var $value --service "$SERVICE_NAME" fi done < "$ENV_FILE" done `
