The Runtime Configuration File¶
KIWI NG supports an additional configuration file for runtime specific settings that do not belong into the image description but which are persistent and would be unsuitable for command line parameters.
The runtime configuration file must adhere to the YAML syntax and can be provided via the global
--config
option at call time of KIWI NG. If no config file is
provided at the commandline, KIWI NG searches for the runtime
configuration file in the following locations:
~/.config/kiwi/config.yml
/etc/kiwi.yml
A default runtime config file in /etc/kiwi.yml
is provided with
the python3-kiwi package. The file contains all settings as comments
including a short description of each setting.
