Discovery Locations

The developer portal is configured to search a number of locations for entity descriptors (commonly a catalog-info.yaml file). These locations include, by type:

Git:

• github.com/DiamondLightSource
  • Entity descriptors at /catalog-info.yaml
• gitlab.diamond.ac.uk
  • Entity descriptors at /catalog-info.yaml

LDAP:

• ralfed.cclrc.ac.uk
  • Users

Miscellaneous:

• gitlab.diamond.ac.uk/sscc-docs/groups
  • Groups

These locations are defined in the catalog.providers section of the backstage configuration file backstage/app-config.yaml (on main ).
