Auto Reconfigure

Zilla loads the configuration from the zilla.yaml file on startup and logs the configured settings. Restarting Zilla or its container may not be an option, so Zilla creates a file watcher to detect changes to the file and reloads the config if a change is detected.

Errors and misconfigured parts of the zilla.yaml file are detected by Zilla and reported via stdout. The original config remains in place and can only be replaced by a valid config.

This feature is demonstrated in the above Helm install command. Running a helm update ... with changes to the zilla.yaml, k8s will update the config map, which writes the new content into the running pods. Zilla will detect those file changes and load the new config.

Zilla can load the zilla.yaml config from a remote source using the -c or --config CLI flag. The auto reconfigure feature will still work when pulling the config remotely.
