Ping Identity DevOps pingcommon Hook - 05-expand-templates.sh

Using the envsubst command, this will look through any files in the STAGING_DIR that end in .subst or .subst.default and substitute any variables the files with the the value of those variables, if the variable is set. Variables may come from (in order of precedence): - The '.env' file from the profiles and intra container env variables - The environment variables or env-file passed to container on startup - The container's os If a .zip file ends with .zip.subst (especially useful for pingfederate for example with data.zip) then: - file will be unzipped - any files ending in .subst will be processed to substitute variables - zipped back up in to the same file without the .subst suffix If a file ends with .subst.default (intended to only be expanded as a default if the file is not found) then it will be substituted: - If the RUN_PLAN==START and the file is not found in staging - If the RUN_PLAN==RESTART and the file is found in staging or the OUT_DIR

Note: If a string of $name should be ignored during a substitution, then A special variable ${DOLLAR} should be used. This is not required any longer and deprecated, but available for any older server-profile versions. Example: ${DOLLAR}{username} ==> ${username}
