Docker image for kube-linter about kube-linter

[viswajithiii]

Has anyone requested official support for running this using GitHub Actions? I can't find any such request. That would be our use-case, to run the above image in PRs using GitHub natively.

Hi @jspiro, yes, we have discussed having an official GitHub Action before, but haven't tracked it in an issue as yet. I've created #96 to track this.

Even before that, though, it should be possible to use KubeLinter without too much difficulty in a GitHub Action. We have an example here that may be helpful (it uses the binary directly instead of the image, which I think is preferable anyway since it avoids the dependency on Docker).

Aw, thank you @viswajithiii! I will give the example a shot and otherwise follow #96. Maybe I'll even find some time to contribute to it ;-)

Hi @linuxbsdfreak,

Thanks for filing this issue! This is definitely something we can do, but first I'd like to understand how you would like to use it to make sure we can handle that. Specifically, how do you want to pass the files to be linted to KubeLinter? Is your goal to be able to do something like docker run -v <path-to-helm-files>:<path-in-container> <kube-linter-image>?

That would be my use case... to avoid installing it locally, and allow it to be run from CI/CD tooling.

Hi @viswajithiii ,

Thanks. I am using tekton CI/CD to run tools to validate helm charts. I would like to use kube-linter as a tool packaged as a docker image and run it against helm charts path or plain K8s manifests. That would be my use case.

Hi @linuxbsdfreak and @tdensmore
That makes sense. We have added it to our roadmap and thanks again for bringing this up. I will loop this back to our main developer.
