Templating

This plugins allows you to generate retention policies using Go templates and a JSON config file.

Templates

Templates use values from the JSON config file to generate FileSpec files.

delete-older-than.json:

{
    "files": [{
        "aql": {
            "items.find": {
                "repo": "{{.Repo}}",
                "created" : {"$before" : "{{.Time}}"}
            }
        }
    }]
}

JSON config

The JSON config file contains a key for each template, with an array of entries for that template. Each entry will result in a FileSpecs file being generated.

If the entry has a Name property, it's value will be used as the FileSpecs file name.

config.json:

{
    "delete-everything": [
        { "Name": "foo-dev", "Repo": "foo-dev-local" },
        { "Name": "bar-dev", "Repo": "bar-dev-local" }
    ],
    "delete-older-than": [
        { "Name": "baz-dev", "Repo": "baz-dev-local", "Time": "30d" }
    ]
}
