List of ideas I want to implement in the future.
- Miscellaneous:
- Support private registries and mirrors
- maybe via registry mapping in
config.json
? - Add a .gif showcasing hbox
- Update GitHub workflows to
- upload binaries to release
- add linters and code format
- add static analysis
- add image scanning
- Create an index/registry repository
- Use shards to get better performance in git repositories
- Double check if registered packages are available locally before using them
- Manage volumes to avoid lose data
- probably better to manage them by package + version
- Make it easier to build custom images based on templates
- pass relevant build args, like IMAGE_NAME and IMAGE_VERSION
- Try to update config files from
.json
to.yaml
or.toml
- Mask relevant information added to logs
- Allow override configs and versions in a local folder, via
.hbox
file (or other file extension)- Traverse parent directories until a
.hbox
config file is found- does it need to define depth level?
- Traverse parent directories until a
- Add version to config files to specify their formats to allow check for future compatibility
- [Experimental] Allow forced flags in docker run, based on pattern matching
- New commands
- Add auto update
hbox upgrade
- Add
hbox update
to update index - Add
hbox register
to register a package, even with custom image - Add
hbox verify
to check if there's something wrong with packages or with container engine:- Verify if
docker
orpodman
are installed and available- Verify if there are container images for the current version of each package
- Verify if
- Add command
hbox reshim
to regenerate shims - Experimental: Identify paths in
hbox run
to map them via container volumes automatically
- Add auto update
- Updated commands:
- Add option to keep containers instead of using
--rm
- maybe adding custom tags to them to identify them easily?
- define lifecycle rules:
- should we reuse them or always create a new one?
- should volumes be reused between them?
- Add option to remove images when removing packages via
hbox remove/uninstall
- Add support to colors in
hbox run
output when possible (*nix only?) - On
hbox add/install
add warn when a shim will conflict with an existing command
- Add option to keep containers instead of using
- Technical debt:
- Add unit and integration tests
- it should run on Linux and Windows
- Add unit and integration tests
