About ExampleConfig
The trusted source for authentic, unaltered configuration files from fresh installations across multiple Linux distributions.
Why?
The problem every sysadmin knows
You probably know this situation: You tinkered with a configuration file - made a mistake - and then needed the default version of it again. Whether you're building Docker containers, deploying to Kubernetes, or setting up development environments.
To spare you the pain of reinstalling the application, we provide you exactly that default example config file - perfect for container deployments and infrastructure automation.
How?
Fresh installations across multiple Linux distributions
The default configuration files are fetched from a fresh installation of that application - on multiple different linux-based OS. So you will find a MYSQL config for Ubuntu 20.04 or RHEL 7 or even Alpine Linux. While they are largely the same, they slightly differ. Perfect for your Docker base images and Kubernetes deployments - we got you covered.
