### Commands
The commands section is for defining commands. These can be run with or without a shell and on a host or locally.
See the [commands documentation](/config/commands) for further information.
```yaml
commands:
  stop-docker-container:
    cmd: docker
    args:
      - compose
      - -f /some/path/to/docker-compose.yaml
      - down
    # if host is not defined, cmd will be run locally
    host: some-host 
  backup-docker-container-script:
    cmd: /path/to/script
    # The host has to be defined in the config file
    host: some-host
    environment:
      - FOO=BAR
    - APP=$VAR # defined in .env file in config directory
  shell-cmd:
    cmd: rsync
    shell: bash
    args:
      - -av
- some-host:/path/to/data
- ~/Docker/Backups/docker-data
  hostname:
    cmd: hostname
```
### Lists
To execute groups of commands in sequence, use a list configuration.
```yaml
cmd-configs:
cmds-to-run: # this can be any name you want
# all commands have to be defined
order:
- stop-docker-container
- backup-docker-container-script
- shell-cmd
- hostname
notifications:
- matrix
name: backup-some-server
hostname:
name: hostname
order:
- hostname
notifications:
- prod-email
```
### Hosts
The hosts object may or may not be defined.
{{% notice info %}}
If any `host` from a commands object does not match any `host` object, the needed values will be checked in the default SSH config files.
{{% /notice %}}
```yaml
hosts:
# any ssh_config(5) keys/values not listed here will be looked up in the config file or the default config file
some-host:
hostname: some-hostname
config: ~/.ssh/config
user: user
privatekeypath: /path/to/private/key
port: 22
# can also be env:VAR or the password itself
password: file:/path/to/file
# can also be env:VAR or the password itself
privatekeypassword: file:/path/to/file
# only one is supported for now
proxyjump: some-proxy-host
```
### Notifications
The notifications object can have two forms.
For more, [see the notification object documentation](/config/notifications). The top-level map key is id that has to be referenced by the `cmd-configs` key `notifications`.
```yaml
notifications:
prod-email:
type: mail
host: yourhost.tld
port: 587
senderAddress: email@domain.tld
recipients:
- admin@domain.tld
username: smtp-username@domain.tld
password: your-password-here
matrix:
type: matrix
home-server: your-home-server.tld
room-id: room-id
access-token: your-access-token
user-id: your-user-id
```
### Logging
cmd-std-out controls whether commands output is echoed to StdOut.
If logfile is not defined, the log file will be written to the config directory in the file `backy.log`.
`console-disabled` controls whether the logging messages are echoed to StdOut. Default is false.
`verbose` basically does nothing as all necessary info is already output.
```yaml
logging:
verbose: false
file: path/to/log/file.log
console-disabled: false
cmd-std-out: false
```
