It would be great if there was a option to upload extra files along with the main script. Like for the Docker example, if I could modify the script to refer to an actual Dockerfile that also gets uploaded along side the job.sh. Maybe a flag like -additional-files []string ?

Include id_token: write in the job template for OIDC tokens

This is used for authentication for things like the actuated SSH gateway and for deploying to/interacting with AWS using a short-lived tokens

It could just be added as a default in the template, no need to make it optional.

Remember to also include contents: read

Collect/download output artifacts prior to repo deletion

If files are created in a known folder, an action should be added to the template to upload them as artifacts/pipeline outputs.

The code that checks for logs should then check for artifacts and download them.

Use-case:

• take a screenshot of a certain webpage, the image is uploaded as an output, and is then downloaded
• youtubedl is executed and the result is then uploaded as an artifact and downloaded after
• you build an ISO image using QEMU/Packer or a Docker image as a tar, this is uploaded and downloaded to the local computer afterwards

Take a look at some of the examples:

I'd like submissions for things that can run in the foreground or run until completion.

Some ideas: headless Chrome / puppeteer / Postgresql or similar queries via CLI, running e2e tests - perhaps the ones from the openfaas/faas-netes repo? Testing out a Helm chart by installing it via arkade? Running hey against your own HTTP server?

Add CI and releases using the pattern from alexellis/arkade

When a local .secrets folder is supplied, then these should be created as repo-level secrets accessible for the script.

For the example of using faas-cli remotely, and / or using a database connection string, or VPN etc.
