Clowder in Labs Workbench

This section describes specific configuration options in the Labs Workbench environment.

Overriding the default configuration

By default, Clowder is started with the default configuration provided in the official Docker image.  However, it is possible to override the default configuration by mapping a volume to "/home/clowder/clowder/custom".  Using a console application or the File Manager, create a directory in your home directory called "clowder_conf" or similar.  After adding Clowder, but before starting it, select the config button. On the data tab, create a new volume mapping from "clowder_conf" (relative to your home directory) to "/home/clowder/clowder/custom".  When the application is started, the volume will be mapped and Clowder will read your custom configuration.
