Hey @kapa.ai i have a source already part of a connection. Is there any way to update the docker image url & tag for this source ?

Yes, you can update the Docker image URL and tag for a source that is already part of a connection in Airbyte. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Update the Docker Image Tag: - If you want to update the image tag without changing the tag name, you can input the same tag and click update in the Airbyte UI. This approach has been suggested by a user in the forum: > "Hey [@isavita](https://discuss.airbyte.io/u/isavita), in my experience of developing connectors locally I’ve noticed that I can input the same tag and click update. Have you tried that?" ([Source](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/3408)) 2. Create a New Source Definition: - If you need to use different versions of a source connector for different connections, you can create a new source definition with a different name and use that. This method allows you to manage multiple versions of the same source connector: > "Hey we don’t have a direct way to do that, you can create a new sourceDefinition with a different name and use that." ([Source](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/2162)) 3. Add a Custom Connector: - If you have built a custom connector locally, you can add it to the Airbyte UI as a custom connector. This involves building the connector, tagging the image, and then adding it in the UI:
Copy code
markdown      1. Build the connector:         ```sh         ./gradlew :airbyte-integrations:connectors:source-custom-name:build
2. Tag the image. 3. Add it as a custom connector in the UI → settings → source → custom connector.
Copy code
([Source](<https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1812>))  4. **Push to Private Docker Registry**:    - If you are using a private Docker registry, ensure that your connector image is pushed to the registry:      ```markdown      1. Build and tag your connector image locally:         ```sh         docker build . -t my-custom-connectors/source-custom:0.1.0
2. Create your image tag with the
docker tag
command. 3. Push the image to your private Docker registry:
Copy code
sh         docker push <image-name>:<tag>
``` ([Source](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-custom-connectors#3-push-your-connector-image-to-your-private-docker-registry)) By following these steps, you should be able to update the Docker image URL and tag for your source in Airbyte. If you encounter any issues, you can refer to the relevant forum posts and documentation for further guidance.
