Hiding/controlling the Containerization menu option in KNIME AP

[neeraj_lcci]

Hi KNIME Team,

I would like to know if I can either hide the Containerization menu option or control it so that I can customize it, like using a different base docker image.

Hi @neeraj_lcci,

That option is provided by a community plugin, the de.NBI/CIBI extension, you can uninstall it to remove the menu option. I don’t think that extension supports providing differnt base images.

Hi @gab1one,

I see the below-pasted plugins:

de.nbi.cibi.bard_1.0.1.qualifier.jar
de.nbi.cibi.base_1.0.0.qualifier.jar
de.nbi.cibi.docker_1.0.0.201806221309.jar
de.nbi.cibi.myexperiment_1.0.0.qualifier.jar
de.nbi.cibi.repositories_1.0.0.qualifier.jar

Am I supposed to delete all of above-listed plugins?

Hi @neeraj_lcci
you should avoid manually deleting plugins from your AP installation, instead go Help-> About KNIME Analytics Platform:

In the window that pops up click on Installation Details (1), then select the extension you want to uninstall (2) then click on uninstall (3)

Hi @gab1one,

I need to remove these plugins before it gets to the end users.
I think de.nbi.cibi.feature.feature.group can be removed from the feature list while building the KNIME AP.

Hi @neeraj_lcci,

Are you creating a custom KNIME AP that you then ship to your users? In that case, the approach you suggested should be taken.

Hi @gab1one,

Yes, we have a custom KNIME AP client.
Thanks for your help.
