Tests configuration errors, templates, local files, HTTP context, delimiters, disabled mode, missing configuration, and plugins. Release notes document the integration. |
Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer the Gomplate integration because it is an optional templating feature for the Butane CLI.
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aedec
When Gomplate is enabled without an explicit files directory, Butane may use configuration from the working directory, producing unexpected template behavior. Resolve or explicitly accept this configuration-selection behavior before merge.

Def plan on updating go soon, just need to settle butane a bit more in this repo :) |

Nice 👍 |

Now that Butane lives inside Ignition, I assume that we also need to be careful of the size of Butane (as it will grow ignition too) For some context, we are already having issues with the boot partition being too small to fit everything we need, #2238 reduced the size of ignition by a lot, and helped fix some of the issues with the boot partition, but even then we are still very tight for space. It seems like I assume that we are not supporting templating at boot-time ? If that is the case, maybe we could have two different butane builds using build tags, one with what is strictly required for ignition, and one meant for cli-users. I guess we should think about how we want to handle this in general. |
|
@vic1707 It seems like creating different builds as per my prior suggestion may lead to a lot of complexity in the CI, so that may not be feasible. I would still like to see templating in Butane, perhaps we can look into alternatives to |
|
I'm not against exploring alternatives because of the size issue but I'd prefer not to lose too much functionality, e.g. yescrypt or secret retrieval. Already took a quick look and gomplate's value proposition seems very hard to beat or even match. |
|
@vic1707, were there any specific features you were hoping to use ? I am not sure how we can get around the size issue other than the build tags, and that would still lead to a very large butane binary. Maybe one way forward would be to use a small templating library, and add any features that we miss via things like butane sugar / extra functionality. This way we can avoid the huge dependencies. If someone really needed all of the advanced gomplate features, maybe it would be better to use them as separate steps ( |
Secret pulling feature from various datasources + the ability to create new ones. I also loved the ability to include/exclude parts of the code (ie: https://github.com/vic1707/homelab-config/blob/moving-out/vps/telstar/ignition.bu.yml#L156-L184). But the main reason I'm making this PR is for the
I don't really know if that's possible at all, I just think it may be worth a shot.
Yup that's what I've been doing: gomplate --config .conf/.gomplate.yaml -f ".conf/$ENV.gomplate.yaml" \ # not needed, used to switch conf between PROD and DEV (local VM)

| butane -d "$(dirname "$BUTANE_FILE")" --output "$IGNITION_PATH"for my old VPS, that's probably not the smartest way but it worked. But that's incompatible with |
|
I explored this in 4768a31. Rather than relying on linker tree-shaking or build tags, it isolates gomplate in the Butane CLI package and injects its file reader into the shared code.
What do you think of this? |
Installed with: go get github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate/v5@v5.2.0
- gomplate is opt-in via the `--enable-gomplate` flag - the only way to configure it is by providing a `.gomplate.yaml` file in the used `files-dir`

Ah right, I had not thought of that. I wonder could this be fixed in the workaround. I do think that the current approach to isolate the package is quite nice, I am still not entirely sure if its worth adding such a large dependency, and it may be worth considering what alternatives would look like and would need. I hope it does not seem like I'm being overly picky! Right now, I would still be concerned about binary size, but this is more of a personal preference than a hard blocker like it would be if it were a part of the There is also the security issues that come from vendoring in so many dependencies, and the fact that if we add
If there is a smaller library that would have the "most wanted" features, such as this one (which I also am a fan of), I'd personally prefer to see that. Maybe someone else has other opinions. |

I explored a few alternatives, but none really come close to
Embedding a scripting language such as Lua or Starlark is another possibility, but then we'd effectively be designing and maintaining our own extension API, and it may not end up particularly small either. One other idea I'm torn between "really neat" and "terrible idea" on would be exposing a generic file-read hook. Implementation-wise it would stay quite close to the current PR, except instead of calling

Same as coreos/butane#629 but with updated gomplate from 4.3.3 to 5.2.0 as it brings Yescrypt support amongst other nice things.
--- Original PR message ---
This PR proposes a solution to coreos/butane#111, as
envsubstmay not be sufficient for all users.This PR makes
butaneusegomplateas a templating engine, each filebutanewants to open is passed throughgomplatefirst.Gomplate is configurable by having a
.gomplate.yamlfile in the current directory, no flags are used to configuregomplate(for CLI simplicity).Assuming
gomplateintegration is something the team wants, I would understand if you vendoredgomplateyourselves and only cherry picked the integration commit later, security is important and I completely understand that a +2.3M lines added by an external contributor doesn't feel safe. The install is in a separate commit and the command used is in the description for anyone wanting to check that nothing's fishy.Thx!
