|
#### Snap notes
|
|
`yq` installs with with [_strict confinement_](https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-confinement/6233) in snap, this means it doesn't have direct access to root files. To read root files you can:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - a.path
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And to write to a root file you can either use [sponge](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sponge):
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
|
|
```
|
|
or write to a temporary file:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq w - a.path value | sudo tee /etc/myfile.tmp
|
|
sudo mv /etc/myfile.tmp /etc/myfile
|
|
rm /etc/myfile.tmp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

### Go Get:
|
|

|
## Run with Docker
|
|
|
|
Oneshot use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq [flags] <command> FILE...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run commands interactively:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can be useful to have a bash function to avoid typing the whole docker command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq() {
|
|
docker run --rm -i -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq $@
|
|
}
|
|
```
