Hello Ralph

How can I provide a custom IOC application template and have makeBaseApp identify it?

Having custom templates is the main idea behind using templates for this functionality.

Several of Base's modules have their own example templates and install them into the Base template area.

You can also create your own template area and put as many templates there as you want. Switching the template area for makeBaseApp happens through an environment variable or on the command line.

See the makeBaseApp documentation for details: https ://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/appdevguide/gettingStarted.html#makebaseapp-pl
