@gsuberland in fact it is a shell script, wrapped in a docker container

@dysfun SO OFTEN THE CASE.

dead simple CLI apps with like two library dependencies wrapped in a whole-ass docker container

@dysfun @gsuberland Do you want the Busybox, Alpine, Ubuntu/Debian, Centos or OpenSuse-based version of your shellscript-in-a-container?

@gsuberland This docker container could have been a Nix flake.

@alper @gsuberland .. or any other proper OS package.

@gsuberland and yet better distributable for a given complexity IMO. I vividly recall the drama about jq versions and it's API changes 😤 to only name one aspect.

I concur with rreeaaalllyy simple scripts though

@gsuberland strong vice versa, in fact!
Show threadCiaran McNultyAug 22, 2023

@gsuberland If the only dependency is bash, sure

... and you know the exact target bash version

@gsuberland bonus points if it actually is a shell script in a docker container ;)

@gsuberland That's not enterprise ready. Make it a multi pod k8s deployment!

@gsuberland this build pipeline that starts the container that could have been a shell script could have been a Cron line

@gsuberland this curl | bash could have been a deb/rpm/pacman package

@autinerd @gsuberland that’s not nice to people who don’t use debian/redhat/arch-based distros :(

@gsuberland And sometimes the shell script could have been a python/C#/whatever script.

@gsuberland how do you schedule curl at scale if not through a docker container and your kubernetes cluster?
