»variable Stanza

The variable stanza declares a variable and makes it available for use in other stanzas in the config. Read more about defining and using variables here.

variable "key" {
  # ...
}

variable "key" {  # ...}

Multiple variable stanzas can be specified; there is no limit to the number of variables you can define for your configuration.

variable "image" {
  # ...
}

variable "tag" {
  # ...
}

variable "image" {  # ...}
variable "tag" {  # ...}

Supply a value to a specified variable with one of the following methods:

• the default value in the definition block
• an environment variable on the runner specified by env in the definition block
• the parameter -var key=value
• the parameter -var-file=filename, where filename is the name of a file with variable values
• an environment variable prefixed with WP_VAR_
• a file of variable values with the suffix .auto.wpvars
• the Waypoint UI
