Ability to pass in a fittings file on host machine to docker container

[asimkhawaja]

As a user I would LOVE to be able to pass in a fittings file sitting on the host machine as a parameter to the docker container for plumbery so that I dont have post my fittings file on a webserver.

Do you have access to docker storage for your container? If yes, then you can write your fittings plan to this storage, and give to plumbery the file path instead of a web link. Note that I have not tested the idea, this is just popping up as a potential solution.

hey the process supports ftp, windows file shares, nfs etc. but not a local file. its a tricky one because docker containers are not persistent.

I want to try Bernards idea, after I get my fittings file working directly with plumbery.

If that doesnt work then its time to create an issue again.

@tonybaloney, would it make sense to you to integrate fittings plan in a Dockerfile? In other terms, we could combine plumbery and one fittings plan in a docker container. Maybe a crazy idea, so your feedback is welcome

@asimkhawaja do you have feedback on this one? Thanks
