Slick loading of environmental variables into bash 2025-02-18
Picked up a cool trick yesterday:

 #!/bin/bash
# Load all the environment variables from the .env file
export $(cat .env | xargs)
#Take the task definition file and replace the environment variables
envsubst < tomcat-task-def-template.json > task-definition.json.tmp
if [ ! -f task-definition.json.tmp ]; then
  echo "task-definition.json.tmp is missing"
  exit 1
fi
full_path=$(pwd)
# Register the task definition
aws ecs register-task-definition --cli-input-json file:///${full_path}/task-definition.json.tmp

read -p "Remove the temp file? [y/n] " -n 1 -r removetempfile

if [[ $removetempfile =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]
then
  rm task-definition.json.tmp
fi
