• docs_blob (set by CollectionLoader._build_docs_blob())
• collection_readme
• documentation_files
• contents
• contents
• requires_ansible

Configuration

An optional ini configuration file is supported, the following locations are checked in this order:

/etc/galaxy-importer/galaxy-importer.cfg

You can override the above paths by setting GALAXY_IMPORTER_CONFIG in the environment. For example:

$ export GALAXY_IMPORTER_CONFIG=~/galaxy-importer.cfg

Configuration options and their defaults are defined in DEFAULTS at galaxy_importer/config.py
