finalfrag/dynamicrules repository overview

⁠Description

This docker image is intended to be used with OpenHAB.

It allows you to have a file named "_.rules" in the input folder, together with your regular .rules files. It outputs each regular .rules file prepended by the contents of the "_.rules" file. It continually watches for changes to files in the input folder and recompiles files as necessary.

This allows you to put variables and functions in the _.rules file to have them available in all your .rules files, since OpenHAB's rule engine does not allow for global variables and functions.
