hi everyone, I installed datahub following the quick start guide, I ingested metadata using the datahub cli, however now I need to configure some datahub files that I don't have locally (frontend modification by example). I have to do what ? if i clone the project locally how can i use it with docker containers? and can i still use the datahub cli commands? do I lose the data thatI ingested ? PS: I read the local devellopement documentation but I have the impression that it requires recreating the containers from zero ...

Hi @swift-breakfast-25077 So what you'll need to do depends on the customizations you'd like to make. What are you hoping to configure?
If its a code change, then your best bet would be a clone + branch + build some containers locally
If its simpler configuration, we can figure out how to accomplish without cloning (hopefully)

@big-carpet-38439 I want to configure user.props file for authentication. if I follow local development, do I have to delete my current containers (created from the quickstart guide) ? and can i still use the datahub cli commands ? I also want to confirm the local development steps: 1 clone the project 2 Configuration 3 ./gradlew build 4 docker/dev.sh 3 and 4 must be executed at each modification ? I'm new to datahub and I appreciate your help.

@swift-breakfast-25077 You can actually just follow this guide to add new users to that props file. Just follow the first section here: https://datahubproject.io/docs/how/auth/add-users/#create-a-userprops-file
You shouldn't need any custom mounts or forks to do the first part!

@big-carpet-38439 i read this part , but it didn't work , i am running datahub on windows and i can't find the path ${HOME}/.datahub/plugins/frontend/auth/ to create user. props ! 😔
