I have a windows laptop that I use to develop projects for multiple plants. I created a couple of Git repos to manage things. I have a repo for Plant A projects and another for Plant B. I also have a repo for group projects that Plant A and B might inherit from. In Windows, I was able to lay out my projects folder with symbolic links roughly like this.
Project A1 -> Git folder for Plant A\Project A1
Project A2 -> Git folder for Plant A\Project A2
Project B1 -> Git folder for Plant B\Project B1
I used the command mklink /J “Project A1” “Plant A\Project A1”
Then in Ignition I see Project A1, A2 and B1 in the projects lists and interact with them as expected. I manage the git folder for Plant A via Git and check in my changes.
I wanted to streamline things so I’m migrating to docker containers. I started with the Ignition container, but I’ve moved to a derived container that has git added to it. In that container, I attempted to do the same thing.
I tried ln -s “Project A1” “Plant A\Project A1”
But the projects are not showing up in the project list using this method.
Is this not possible or am I doing something incorrectly?
