Config files allow you to define a BYOC application using .toml files. Under the hood, Nuon will handle keeping your configuration in sync.

​
Create an app

Create a local App directory - Create a directory and name it after your App. This directory will contain your App’s configuration files. 
mkdir your-app
cd your-app
Config files are used to sync the configuration for a single App. For consistency, use the same name as the directory you created above. 
nuon apps create --name=your-app

​
Sync an App

To sync an app, and it’s configuration run:
nuon
nuon apps sync

​
Breaking up Config Files

As your config grows, keeping everything in a single file can become unmanagable. Create components and actions directories in your project root and individual files for each component. e.g., helm_deploy.toml.
helm_deploy.toml
#:schema https://api.nuon.co/v1/general/config-schema?type=helm
name           = "whoami"
type           = "helm_chart"
chart_name     = "whoami"
namespace      = "whoami"
storage_driver = "configmap"

[public_repo]
repo      = "nuonco/demo"
directory = "eks-simple/src/components/whoami"
branch    = "main"

[[values_file]]
contents = "./whoami.yaml"
When loading a component from a source, the components prefix is not needed for each field, like it is in the main config file.

Reference

​
Input Config

Define inputs for an app using inputs.toml file. To configure a sensitive api_key and vpc_id input:
inputs.toml
#:schema https://api.nuon.co/v1/general/config-schema?type=inputs
[inputs]
name = "vpc_id"
description = "vpc_id to install application into"
default = ""
sensitive = false
display_name = "VPC ID"
type = "string"

[[inputs]]
name = "api_key"
description = "API key"
default = ""
sensitive = true
display_name = "API Key"
type = "string"
Inputs are not required, unless you are using a Sandbox that requires Inputs. e.g., root_domain for the aws-eks-sandbox.

​
Sandbox Config

Define the sandbox for an app using a [sandbox] block. To define an aws-eks-sandbox Sandbox:
sandbox.toml
#:schema https://api.nuon.co/v1/general/config-schema?type=sandbox
terraform_version = "1.11.3"

[public_repo]
directory = "."
repo      = "nuonco/aws-eks-sandbox"
branch    = "main"

[vars]
cluster_name         = "n-{{.nuon.install.id}}"
enable_nuon_dns      = "true"
public_root_domain   = "{{ .nuon.inputs.inputs.root_domain }}"
internal_root_domain = "internal.{{ .nuon.inputs.inputs.root_domain }}"

[[var_file]]
contents = "./sandbox.tfvars"
Notice how variables can be defined in the vars block and with var_file.

​
Install Config

You can create and manage Installs by creating <install>.toml files in a installs directory. Install config must declare a name field and any relevant install-specific configuration.
Currently only AWS installs are supported using Install config files.
install.toml
#:schema https://api.nuon.co/v1/general/config-schema?source=install
name = "<install-name>"

# configure Auto Approval settings for an install
approval_option = "prompt" # set this to "approve-all" to enable auto approval

[aws_account]
  region = "us-east-1"
  iam_role_arn = "<aws-iam-role>"

[inputs]
  input_string = "sample"
  input_number = "100"
  input_bool   = "true"
  input_json   = '{"key": "value"}'
All input values should be defined as strings. They will be parsed into the correct type by Nuon.

​
Component Config

You can define components by creating <component>.toml files in a components directory. Components must declare a type field and any relevant component-specific configuration.
Each component will have dependencies automatically defined based on the order in the config file. Learn more about depencencies here.

​
Terraform Module Component

To define a terraform module component use the terraform_module type. To configure a terraform component using a connected repo:
my-tf-component.toml
#:schema https://api.nuon.co/v1/general/config-schema?type=terraform
name = "terraform"
type = "terraform_module"
terraform_version = "1.11.3"

[connected_repo]
directory = "infra"
repo = "org/repo"
branch = "main"

[env_vars]
AWS_REGION = "{{.nuon.install.sandbox.account.region}}"

[vars]
account_id = "{{.nuon.install.sandbox.account.id}}"

​
Helm Chart Component

To define a helm chart component use the helm_chart type. To configure a helm chart in a connected repo:
helm.toml
#:schema https://api.nuon.co/v1/general/config-schema?type=helm
name = "helm"
type = "helm_chart"
chart_name = "chart-name"

[components.connected_repo]
directory = "helm"
repo = "org/repo"
branch = "main"

[values]
"api.ingresses.public_domain" = "{{.nuon.install.sandbox.outputs.nuon_dns.public_domain.name}}"

​
Docker Build Component

To define a docker build component use the docker_build type. To configure a docker build component from a private repo:
docker_build.toml
name = "docker_build"
type = "docker_build"

dockerfile = "Dockerfile"

[connected_repo]
directory = "deployment"
repo = "powertoolsdev/mono"
branch = "main"

​
Container Image Component

To define a container image component use the container_image type. To configure a public container image:
container_image.toml
name = "container_image"
type = "container_image"

[public]
image_url = "kennethreitz/httpbin"
tag = "latest"
To configure a container image from an ECR repo:
container_image_ecr.toml
name = "container_image_ecr"
type = "container_image"

[aws_ecr]
iam_role_arn = "iam_role_arn"
image_url = "ecr-url"
tag = "latest"
region = "us-west-2"
