Use documentation generation tools that are available for Windows and Linux. Use python instead of shell scripts to generate documentation. For ReadTheDocs make generated documentation content static to avoid running scripts outside of the docs/ path which is the default path for ReadTheDOcs. Add tests that check if generated content does go out of sync with latest source. Use tabs to show commands for Windows and Linux to improve user experience.

Configuration
The configuration controls all aspects of EOS: optimization, prediction, measurement, and energy management.
Storing Configuration
EOS stores configuration data in a key-value store, where a configuration key refers to the
unique identifier used to store and retrieve specific configuration data. Note that the key-value
store is memory-based, meaning all stored data will be lost upon restarting the EOS REST server if
not saved to the EOS configuration file.
Some configuration keys are read-only and cannot be altered. These keys are either set up by other
means, such as environment variables, or determined from other information.
Several endpoints of the EOS REST server allow for the management and retrieval of configuration data.
Save Configuration File
Use endpoint PUT /v1/config/file to save the current configuration to the
EOS configuration file.
Load Configuration File
Use endpoint POST /v1/config/update to update the configuration from the EOS configuration file.
Configuration Sources and Priorities
The configuration sources and their priorities are as follows:
- Settings: Provided during runtime by the REST interface
- Environment Variables: Defined at startup of the REST server and during runtime
- EOS Configuration File: Read at startup of the REST server and on request
- Default Values
Settings
Settings are sets of configuration data that take precedence over all other configuration data from
different sources. Note that settings are not persistent. To make the current configuration with the
current settings persistent, save the configuration to the EOS configuration file.
Use the following endpoints to change the current configuration settings:
PUT /v1/config: Replaces the entire configuration settings.PUT /v1/config/value: Sets a specific configuration option.
Environment Variables
All configuration keys can be set by environment variables with the same name. EOS recognizes the
following special environment variables:
EOS_CONFIG_DIR: The directory to search for an EOS configuration file.EOS_DIR: The directory used by EOS for data, which will also be searched for an EOS configuration file.EOS_LOGGING_LEVEL: The logging level to use in EOS.
EOS Configuration File
The EOS configuration file provides persistent storage for configuration data. It can be modified directly or through the REST interface.
If you do not have a configuration file, it will be automatically created on the first startup of the REST server in a system-dependent location.
To determine the location of the configuration file used by EOS, ask the REST server. The endpoint
GET /v1/config provides the config_file_path configuration key.
EOS searches for the configuration file in the following order:
- The directory specified by the
EOS_CONFIG_DIRenvironment variable - The directory specified by the
EOS_DIRenvironment variable - A platform-specific default directory for EOS
- The current working directory
The first available configuration file found in these directories is loaded. If no configuration file is found, a default configuration file is created in the platform-specific default directory, and default settings are loaded into it.
Default Values
Some of the configuration keys have default values by definition. For most of the
configuration keys the default value is just None, which means no default value.
