Hi,
I am exploring the Torizon Cloud container update functionalities and have a question regarding the version management. I am using Dockerhub as the repository for the docker images, there i use the docker tag as a version management (which i can set via the settings.json file in VSCode). But is there also a way to add more data to the Torizon packages which are used to update the mnodules.
At the moment i tried 3 update versions which look like this in DockerHub (Note the V1.0.0, arm64 and latest):
But in Torizon Cloud the look like this (Note here the ‘3 (custom)’, ‘2 (custom)’ etc.):
Is it possible to add more context to this via the VSCode IDE extension via settings.json perhaps?
Kind regards,
Richard

Hello Richard,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about version management in Torizon Cloud. Currently, Torizon Cloud primarily relies on Docker tags for managing the versions of your container images. These tags can be set using the settings.json file in the VSCode IDE extension, which you are already familiar with.
At this time, there isn’t a built-in feature in the Torizon IDE extension or Torizon Cloud interface to add additional metadata or context directly to the Torizon packages beyond these Docker tags. The system is designed to streamline the deployment and management of Docker containers, focusing on the tags for versioning and identification.
If you need to include more detailed metadata or context for your deployments, a practical approach would be to maintain a separate documentation or changelog that aligns with your Docker tags. This documentation can be managed outside of Torizon Cloud and referenced as needed during your deployment processes.
For more advanced customization or integration, you might consider developing additional tools or scripts that can interface with Torizon Cloud’s API, if available, to manage metadata externally. However, this would involve custom development and is not directly supported by the current Torizon Cloud features.
I hope this helps clarify your options. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant.

Hi @RiBe_Act
Adding custom information about package version and description is currently only supported using the TorizonCore Builder tool or the Torizon Cloud API.
Using TorizonCore Builder
You can pass these tags to the platform push command to add the name and version.
tcb platform push [--description DESCRIPTION] [--package-name TARGET] [--package-version VERSION]
Using Torizon Cloud API
You can pass the name and version as parameters to
POST /packages ? name=packageName & version=packageVersion
