Is it possible to have

.meltano

outside of the main project dir? Use case: Customer asked to prepare dockerized setup for local development. I want to have base docker image that contains meltano, all the deps pre-installed. Also I need to mount host directory with meltano project for development. But when I do that

.meltano

directory gets overriden and we get really weird issues with incompatible host and local paths etc. Solution: Ideally I would have some env variable like

MELTANO_DOTDIR

, that I would point to

/opt/meltano

in docker image.

Have you looked at the docker file generated from the files docker setup? I'm not clear on what the issue is with using docker, could you give the steps your are using that are not working? • Yes meltano works on docker. • You can put configuration files in different places. • No I don't think you can change the meltano directory location directory today (if you need it a feature request would help!) Maybe that helps?

Yes, that's what I'm basing my setup on.
