Pull Git submodules for repos

[PaulBayfield]

Currently Komodo doesn't pull Git submodules. Add a way to enable and disable submodules in the Repos tab 🙂

[hmoffatt]

Is there any workaround for this?

Using git submodule command in your Dockerfile might be a work around depending on your situation

Chiming in on this, have many deployments depending on submodules

Git submodules would allow me to really clean up my reused services throughout all my different stacks.

I was able to get this working with predeploy commands

In core.config.toml, under the stack:

pre_deploy.command = """
## Ensure submodule is populated (run from repo root)
cd .. && git submodule update --init --recursive
"""

---

extra context in case it's useful -

I am using this to run a service where:

• it's open source
• there's a dockerfile in the git repo
• there's no image on a registry

i cloned (with submodule) into a subdirectory of my komodo repo. then at the same level as the cloned submodule, I added this docker-compose file.

services:
  [[service-name]]:
    build:
      context: ./[[submodule-directory]]
    container_name: [[service-name]]
    ports:
      - "[[port]]:[[port]]"
    restart: unless-stopped
