Hi, I have created 2 Hocon files. One for dev and one for prod. When running the application, I am currently setting the dev config file like this

io.ktor.server.netty.EngineMain.main(arrayOf("-config=dev.conf"))

. Is it possible for the appropriate file to be set automatically based on my environment? How do I detect what environment I am in to be able to set the config file?

You can use environment variable to set required config

Thanks for your response Andrey, but using environment variables doesn’t allow me to change my config file. It only allows me to read the variables in the already loaded config file. Also what do you mean by specify a special server runner. Could you elaborate on how to do this?

You can change config file, because hocon files support environment variables, see doc which I sent above, you can just read env var if it available
