-----------------------------------
Summary: GitFlowPersistenceProvider option to clone repo on startup
Key: NIFIREG-227
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-227
Project: NiFi Registry
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Kevin Doran
To build on NIFIREG-209, which added the ability to rebuild the flow metadata
database from a git repository if the metadata is empty on startup, it would
also be nice to have the option to clone a git repo on startup if there is not
a local git repo and a remote is configured.
The proposed feature is for the GitFlowPersistenceProvider, to check if there
is a local repository during startup. If the repository is not present, and a
remote is configured (to push to), start by cloning the remote.
The use case is *not* supporting multiple registry instances syncing to the
same git repository (that would require more work). Rather, the use case is
recovery from a remote git repository. This will be especially useful when
launching new docker containers as it would give the ability to create a
container initialized from a remote git repo just via configuration options and
not an explicit git clone step in the image/container.
