A question about maps

[tuxillo]

Acording to the README file, it is possible to use maps but in the example given the map files are assumed to be there.

Now, there are a couple ways to get maps but the most simplest might be just updating the map files (for example, updating a configmap from which a projected volume is created) and then triggering a reload, so I was wondering if there are any plans to add a functionality to handle maps so that any change in them produces a reload. If not, do you know of any solution that we could use?

hi @tuxillo
in kubernetes, when any file is changed in a mounted config map, this triggers a new symlink to be made on parent level. so to the container all files have changed and in combination with the reload wrapper this always triggers a reload. it's not quite transparent but please feel free to PR on the readme or any other files
cheers

Ok thanks @m-terra, I'll have a look and see how it behaves. The problem I have is that I am going to have a large amount of maps in a file that at some point will exceed the 1MB configmap/secret limit so I have to combine several into a projected volume (that's what I'm doing now without the operator with haproxy from its helm chart).
