Continuing the discussion from New model confusion : Let’s by example say that we have a model for creating multiple Docker containers and we wat to have a directory specified where all of the files are. My build script might be something like the following model { dockerComponents { /…

A @Managed type can extend Named, which will allow you to get at the name. This is probably the simplest way to do this at the moment. The plan (but this isn’t possible yet) is to add some ways to query the name, path, etc of any element - regardless of whether it’s managed or not, or whether the d…

After banging my head on this a lot, I don’t think you can, at least, currently. The ModelMap<DockerComponent> is what actually knows the mapping of name -> each component. Even with this, I was unable to find a way to use a component’s name to set any value on it. Changing defaultLocations to ac…

Thanks, at least it shows I’m not the only one trying this out. [image] rhencke: Funny enough, I’m also here, also trying to use the new software model to experiment with managing Docker containers, so I got very confused why I was reading my own code in your forum post before the coffee kicked…

Will do - right now it’s very much in the ‘can I even bend the @Managed types to model this’ phase, but if I get anything of value working from it, I’ll be sure to ship it your way. :slight_smile:

Thanks @adammurdoch , it is a good enough solution for now. @rhencke , this definitely solved it for me interface DockerContainer extends Named { void setDockerDir(String location) String getDockerDir() }

Awesome - thanks! That’ll definitely work for me, too. :slight_smile:

[image] rhencke: Awesome - thanks! That’ll definitely work for me, too. @rhencke , on a side note, If you are interested in building an open-source Docker plugin using the new model, it would be worthwhile getting together with @gesellix , whose existing Docker plugin is the most complete (and…

that’s actually a nice idea - I didn’t have a chance to look into the new model, yet. Hints are very welcome!
