Generate config file (not output) with `mas-cli config generate`

[dklimpel]

It is recommended to create secrets and default config with mas-cli config generate > config.yaml (docs).

This works with shell, bash or similar tools and docker run.

In a kubernates only deployment it is not possible to create the config file. Create the config file (> config.yaml) is part of the functional scope of a shell. The distroless container has no shell and cannot create the file.

IMO it would be good if mas-cli wrote the file itself.

That makes sense! If one would implement such feature, they would:

• add a flag on the config dump/generate commands here (here is in an example of option where a file is being passed)
• open that file and write to it here instead of stdout, if provided

If you need a shell in the container, please note that there is a -debug variant that has the busybox tools installed,
