Quantum-CLI: 2.3.0

#

Last week we released a new version of Quantum-CLI 2.3.0. With this release, we now support the use of environment variables when deploying stacks. We have also improved the CLI’s screen output during a deployment, so you now see progress bars for downloading your Docker images and restarting the services in your stack.

For those who want to watch a demo, we also provide an Asciicast:

Environment Variables, Briefly Explained

#

With the use of environment variables, our customers can avoid committing credentials to GIT (or similar version control systems), and the need to generate the stack before deployment is also eliminated. Instead, values can be managed via secrets (e.g., in Gitlab Pipelines, Github Actions, or similar).

This not only reduces the effort (and technical burden) for our customers to integrate the CLI into their CI/CD processes, but also simplifies the deployment of their applications.

A comprehensive example of using environment variables can be found in our documentation. The source code for the applications can be found in our GitHub organization:
