pigallery2 uses typeconfig for configuration
npm start -- --help prints the following:
Usage: <appname> [options]
Meta cli options:
--help prints this manual
--config-path sets the config file location
--config-attachState prints the value state (default, readonly, volatile, etc..) to the config file
--config-attachDesc prints description to the config file
--config-rewrite-cli updates the config file with the options from cli switches
--config-rewrite-env updates the config file with the options from environmental variables
--config-string-enum enums are stored as string in the config file (instead of numbers)
--config-save-if-not-exist creates config file if not exist
--config-save-and-exist creates config file and terminates
<appname> can be configured through the configuration file, cli switches and environmental variables.
All settings are case sensitive.
Example for setting config MyConf through cli: '<appname> --MyConf=5'
and through env variable: 'SET MyConf=5' .
Default values can be also overwritten by prefixing the options with 'default-',
like '<appname> --default-MyConf=5' and 'SET default-MyConf=5'
