Hello! while using docker, is there a simple way to pass the values from the meltano.yml to the dbt profiles.yml ? We are struggling as the documentation is very light concerning DBT’s integration in Meltano.

Hey @charley_guillaume! We're are looking to improve dbt support during this milestone simple smile. What sort of values are you trying to pass from

meltano.yml

?

Excellent to know! We struggled for a button understand exactly how to pass the variables from the Meltano.yml file to the different fils within dbt such as profiles.yml but also sources.yml. we ended up using the environment variables in the Dockerfile.

So, that's the motivation for #3098 and one way to address it may be making the dbt plugin less generic with adapter-specific installations (#3105, !2523) I'm curious about what sort of variables you passed to

sources.yml

. We have an open issue for auto-generating those files from extractor schemas (#2266), so we'd really appreciate any ideas or use cases you encountered simple smile

I've still some issues regarding the way I can integrate a package and the underlying structure without setting it directly in my Meltano project

As it makes it super hard to maintain

You mean a dbt package? This is super helpful @charley_guillaume, so thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! cc @taylor
