Store a link to the source template about renku-project-template HOT 6 CLOSED

Is this really a template issue? Seems like it should be a UI/CLI issue. If you agree, please transfer.

from renku-project-template.

The thinking was that the template would a metadata file with a template variable for its URL that would be filled in as part of the template instantiation process (just as project name is). This would ensure consistency of the way the information was stored.

We could, as you suggest, push this responsibility to the UI/CLI as part of the template instantiation process, we would just need to coordinate to ensure the information is stored in the same place/way.

I see so that would be an additional template variable. I guess it should be in (at least) two places then.

Could we add this as a prov:wasDerivedFrom property to the project metadata? The metadata would then look something like

created: '2019-11-04T09:36:39.254776+00:00'
creator: mailto:[email protected]
name: test-init
updated: '2019-11-04T09:36:39.257894+00:00'
derivedFrom: https://github.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/[email protected]

The added benefit would be that we could automatically check which version of the template a project has been instantiated from and let the user know when/how they need to update their project.

SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-python#1469 enables this functionality and it should be implemented.

All metadata in .renku is handled by renku-python now and this functionality has been implemented.
