[ckan-dev] Script configuring production.ini using paster config-tool

Mon Oct 29 13:48:48 UTC 2018

If I'm understanding your question correctly, I'd be interested as well.

We ended up pre-processing the ini file using sed during the Docker
entrypoint.  I had no luck at all with the ckanext-envvars package, which
appears to be for a similar purpose (again, if I'm understanding correctly).

I filed an issue about it but got no reply.
