It downloads and selects Envoy versions, runs Envoy with a supplied configuration, and stores supporting data, logs, and runtime files under documented func-e directories. ### Project history The project presents itself as a small Envoy runner and version manager: install func-e, choose or resolve an Envoy build, and run it with a config file or inline YAML. Official releases show public versioned distribution beginning with v0.5.0 in July 2021, v1.0.0 in October 2021, and continued releases through the 1.x series. ### Adoption history func-e is distributed from GitHub releases, through its install script at func-e.io, Homebrew, and winget package facts. Its audience is Envoy and service-mesh users who want a repeatable local way to try Envoy versions or validate production configuration. ### How it is used The typical workflow is to run func-e with an Envoy config file or inline config, list available Envoy versions, select a version with func-e use, or override with ENVOY_PATH. It stores Envoy binaries under FUNC_E_DATA_HOME and logs under FUNC_E_STATE_HOME by default. ### Why package nerds care func-e is a useful package-manager case because it packages not Envoy itself but a resolver and launcher around Envoy. The documented XDG-like directory variables and override URLs make it friendly to reproducible local testing while still depending on external Envoy release metadata. ### Timeline - 2021: v0.5.0 appears in official GitHub releases. - 2021: v1.0.0 appears in official GitHub releases. - 2025: v1.2.0 appears in official GitHub releases. - 2026: v1.6.0 appears in official GitHub releases. ### Related projects - Envoy is the proxy that func-e downloads and runs. - Tetrate's archive endpoint supplies the default Envoy versions JSON used by func-e. - Service-mesh workflows are the operational context for validating Envoy configuration locally. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for func-e. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ${HOME}/.config/func-e ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** func-e - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** macos - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - winget - Tetrate.func-e: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: Tetrate.func-e from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://pkg.so/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://pkg.so/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [go](https://pkg.so/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [istioctl](https://pkg.so/brew/istioctl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, service-mesh. - [mesheryctl](https://pkg.so/brew/mesheryctl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, service-mesh. - [glooctl](https://pkg.so/brew/glooctl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, envoy. - [linkerd](https://pkg.so/brew/linkerd/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, service-mesh. - [kumactl](https://pkg.so/brew/kumactl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, service-mesh. - [aws-es-proxy](https://pkg.so/brew/aws-es-proxy/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, proxy. - [awscli](https://pkg.so/brew/awscli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [kubernetes-cli](https://pkg.so/brew/kubernetes-cli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
