Issue with embarked config.json file

[thsbt]

Hi,

I'm currently using ARLAS WUI 19.2.2 and faced an issue:

I created a dashboard through Arlas Builder and I exported its configuration files : config.json and config.map.json.

Now, I would like to run only ARLAS WUI (without ARLAS Builder, ARLAS Persistence, etc.). I saw on your documentation that my dashboard configuration files can be mounted in ARLAS WUI through a Docker volume: https://docs.arlas.io/arlas-wui-configuration/#file_1

According to your code, these mounted configuration files are taken into account when the env var ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL is not set:

scripts/start.sh

...
## PERSISTENCE
if [ -z "${ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL}" ]; then
  ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL="''"
  export ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL
  echo "NO ARLAS-persistence URL is specified. ARLAS-wui will load its own config.json file"
else
  echo ${ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL} "is used for 'persistence.url'"
fi
...

However, several lines above, when the env var ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL is not set, you set it with a default value 😢 . Consequently, the mounted configuration files cannot be used:

scripts/start.sh

...
if [ -z "${ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL}" ]; then
  ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL="http://localhost:9997"
  export ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL
  echo "The default ARLAS-persistence url '${ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL}' is used"
else
  echo ${ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL} "is used for 'arlas.persistence-server.url'"
fi
...

As a workaround, I go into my ARLAS WUI container and remove these lines in the /usr/share/nginx/html/settings.yaml:

persistence:
 url: 'http://localhost:9997'

In that way, my dashboard configuration files are loaded.

Thanks for your help !
