I am trying to get a dns address using curl and I would like to use that dsn address to replace a word in a .js file.
So the .js file contains a word "hostname" and I would like to replace that with the dns address fetched from curl so what I am trying to do is this.
sed 's/hostname/curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname/g' server.js
I get a error message which is sed: -e expression #1, char 26: unknown option to s'
You need to execute the curl command in a subshell first. Then you need to use a different separator because of the '/' in uris. '|' should work
dns_address=$(curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname)
sed "s|hostname|${dns_address}|g" server.js
Notice the double quotes. They're necessary in order to expand the variable.
or if it has to be in one line
sed "s|hostname|$(curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname)|g" server.js
or maybe I misunderstood the question and you want to put the actual command in server.js
sed 's|hostname|curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname|g' server.js
I just needed to escape the '/' and it works
sed 's/hostname/curl -s http:\/\/169.254.169.254\/latest\/meta-data\/public-hostname/g' server.js
If you want to replace inside the file, you can use a temp file
sed 's/hostname/curl -s http:\/\/169.254.169.254\/latest\/meta-data\/public-hostname/g' server.js > temp.js
mv temp.js server.js
There are better ways to do this, not sure if this meets your needs
