Plugin configuration

Depending on the configuration you use you may need to set the names for the following environment variables.

sbt key	description	default
discoveryMethodEnv	The environment variable name that controls the discovery method. The value will be set to kubernetes-api	None
hostnameEnv	The environment variable name that controls the hostname. This will be set into a kubernetes field value (status.podIP)	None
namespaceEnv	The environment variable name that controls the namespace. This will be set to the namespace defined in the deployment	None

If you don’t set this values, the plugin assume that you have set them manually in the deployment settings and it won’t attempt to define them. Remember that these are for the environment variable names not the values. The values are set automatically as specified in the Akka documentation for kubernetes api discovery here

The generated yaml file can contain the following environment variables

env:
                -   name: MY_DISCOVERY_METHOD
                    value: kubernetes-api
                -   name: MY_HOSTNAME
                    valueFrom:
                        fieldRef:
                            fieldPath: status.podIP
                -   name: AKKA_CLUSTER_BOOTSTRAP_SERVICE_NAME
                    valueFrom:
                        fieldRef:
                            fieldPath: metadata.labels['app']

The AKKA_CLUSTER_BOOTSTRAP_SERVICE_NAME environment variable is added by default. You can only control the 3 environment variables mentioned in the table above.
