# cdist-type\_\_docker\_config(7)

Manage Docker configs

## NAME

cdist-type\_\_docker\_config - Manage Docker configs

## DESCRIPTION

This type manages Docker configs.

## OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

- **source**

  Path to the source file. If it is '-' (dash), read standard input.

- **state**

  'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present' where:

  - **present**

    if the config does not exist, it is created

  - **absent**

    the config is removed

## CAVEATS

Since Docker configs cannot be updated once created, this type tries removing and recreating the config if it changes. If the config is used by a service at the time of removing, then this type will fail.

## EXAMPLES

```
# Creates "foo" config from "bar" source file
__docker_config foo --source bar
```
