Synopsis

kosli assert approval [IMAGE-NAME | FILE-PATH | DIR-PATH] [flags]
Assert an artifact in Kosli has been approved for deployment.
Exits with non-zero code if the artifact has not been approved.
The artifact fingerprint can be provided directly with the --fingerprint flag, or calculated based on --artifact-type flag. Artifact type can be one of: “file” for files, “dir” for directories, “oci” for container images in registries or “docker” for local docker images.

Flags

FlagDescription
-t, —artifact-type stringThe type of the artifact to calculate its SHA256 fingerprint. One of: [oci, docker, file, dir]. Only required if you want Kosli to calculate the fingerprint for you (i.e. when you don’t specify ‘—fingerprint’ on commands that allow it).
-D, —dry-run[optional] Run in dry-run mode. When enabled, no data is sent to Kosli and the CLI exits with 0 exit code regardless of any errors.
-x, —exclude strings[optional] The comma separated list of directories and files to exclude from fingerprinting. Can take glob patterns. Only applicable for —artifact-type dir.
-F, —fingerprint string[conditional] The SHA256 fingerprint of the artifact. Only required if you don’t specify ‘—artifact-type’.
-f, —flow stringThe Kosli flow name.
-h, —helphelp for approval
—registry-password string[conditional] The container registry password or access token. Only required if you want to read container image SHA256 digest from a remote container registry.
