Make task-master and task-filer images configurable

[ghost]

Hey,

I would like to use a Cromwell server as a front for TESK and it seems that the way Cromwell submits tasks to TESK is not in accordance to what TESK requires in terms of file down- and upload. Hence, I changed some minor things in the task-filer and task-manager to adjust it to my needs/Cromwell's output. However, I need to change the images used by the tesk-api in order to validate that it works. I was wondering if you could set up env variables for the images used in order to allow me to use custom images.

Hello, 1) TBH we never tried Cromwell with TESK and shared filesystem. Options that work:

• cwl-tes + shared file system + TESK
• Cromwell + FTP + TESK. It is likely that it will work, but might require some changes at any ends. 2) Changing the image for taskmaster is already available, but not well documented - tesk.api.taskmaster.image-name <-- that is a property responsible for taskmaster image and in Spring Boot way of externalising configuration you can override the value in multiple ways. One way is to set an environment variable TESK_API_TASKMASTER_IMAGE_NAME for TESK API. 3) Changing the image for filer is already partially available, but at API side depends on this PR: https://github.com/EMBL-EBI-TSI/tesk-api/pull/6 I hope to accept it soon.

I will keep this issue open and close it, once changing images has been made available.

Thank you for getting back to me so fast. I set TESK_API_TASKMASTER_IMAGE_NAME to the image I want to test and it works fine. I also changed the default image of the filer in the taskmaster and it uses the test image. I will see if I get it to work and get back to you. 😃

The PR #6 has been accepted and now it should be possible to change both images - taskmaster and filer, starting with this release. I added some more information to docs
