Prerequisites
porter stack contains commands to interact with Porter Stacks.

​
Env groups

  • To add an env group to a stack, the following command is used:
porter stack env-group add [name] --name <stack name> --namespace <stack namespace>
  • To remove an existing env group from a stack, the following command is used:
porter stack env-group remove [name] --name <stack name> --namespace <stack namespace>
info
Once an env group has been created and added to a stack using this command, it can be updated using the porter env-group update command.

​
Examples

  • To add a new env group to a stack named my-stack in the prod namespace, run the following command:
porter stack env-group add my-env-group --name my-stack --namespace prod -n VAR=VALUE [-n VAR=VALUE ...]
  • To add a new env group to a stack named my-stack in the prod namespace with secret variables, run the following command:
porter stack env-group add my-env-group --name my-stack --namespace prod -s VAR=VALUE [-s VAR=VALUE ...]
  • To add a new env group to a stack named my-stack in the prod namespace and link it to the my-web-app in the same stack, run the following command:
porter stack env-group add my-env-group --name my-stack --namespace prod -n VAR=VALUE [-n VAR=VALUE ...] --linked-apps my-web-app
