Is there any way to use App Templates with additionnal files (such as configs)

Ask a Question!

Hello,

I'm using Portainer for 2 years now and it's been a great product but I can't find a definitive answer to this question.

I am using a JSON file to provide custom App Templates. Stacks files are hosted on Git and currently I tried different things to deploy some stacks along with config files using this setup but could not find a way to make it work.

For example, I would like to be able to deploy a stack that is using a docker-compose.yml file and a config file for the container (such as grafana.yml).

Example : Deploying pre-configured Grafana from App Template
Git is hosting two files :

• docker-compose.yml
• grafana.yml

Docker compose is referencing (mount) the grafana.yml config file.

Is there any way to do that with current versions (I'm using Business Edition).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Not using App Templates but you could use Git based stack deployment along with relative paths feature to achieve this.
Check out the example from https://github.com/portainer/test-public-repo/tree/master/relativepath

Ok that's what I thought. Thank you for the answer.

Do you think that there would be any chance to see the support for relative path in App Templates ? App Templates are (from my perspective at least) already very similar to Git based stacks.
