Artificer

Purpose

Creates docker containers using a base image and the provided files together with a config (environment variables and the run command CMD). Useful inside of Kubernetes or Docker-containers, as you don't need to access the docker demon. It then automatically uploads the image to GCR.

Usage

CLI-Flag	Shorthand	Usage
--baseimage	-b	The path to the base Image (FROM in Dockerfiles)
--target	-t	The path to the destination repository where the new image gets pushed to.
--files	-f	The path to a file or directory that will be included at the container root. Use this flag multiple times to specify multiple files or directories.
--env	-e	An Environment Variable definition of the form VARIABLE=VALUE. Use this flag multiple times to specify multiple environment variables
--cmd	-c	The command that runs automatically once the container is launched (CMD in Dockerfiles).

Example:

$> artificer \
   --baseimage="eu.gcr.io/some-registry/alpine:latest" \
   --target="eu.gcr.io/some-registry/myprogram:latest" \
   -f "~/go/bin/myprogram" \
   -f "/some/other/file/or/directory" \
   -e "SOMEPATH=/usr/bin/SomePath" \
   -e "SOMEMOREENV=otherEnv" \
   -c "/myprogram --params"
