Implementing a dockerfile into this repo would allow this software to be run in a container, providing large amounts of benefits such as ease of deployment to multiple servers, easy manageable repos using volume mounting in docker, and various other benefits.
If at all possible (Although I am not sure if docker hub supports Gitlab), produce automatic builds on docker hub using webhooks from this repo.
This dockerfile should also include any dependencies scat might use, for example:
tar(? -- Should this be done in-container or passed in through another means, to support cases where the user doesn't want to to tar their files and instead use something else)
git(? -- Should this be done in-container or dealt with out of container, to support cases where the user does not wish to use git versioning)
ssh
rclone
gpg
pv(? Is this ever used by scat? Or is this just a method of piping in?)
gzip(? Is this ever used by scat? Or is this done programmatically?)
This dockerfile should also have proper volumes defined, such as:
Source data, if being done in-container
Destination local stores
rclone configuration data
gpg keys for signing and encrypting
Along with accepting defined environment variables, such as:
Proc string (Or possibly not? And just having the user define their own command using the Docker run 'COMMAND' argument?
I can look at attempting to make this dockerfile myself if preferred, I am not experienced in the field but the documentation doesn't look too hard, at which point it could possibly be merged into this repo.
