kosli assert approval

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

Flag	Description
-t, —artifact-type string	The 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 string	The Kosli flow name.
-h, —help	help 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.
—registry-username string	[conditional] The container registry username. Only required if you want to read container image SHA256 digest from a remote container registry.

-a, —api-token string	The Kosli API token.
-c, —config-file string	[optional] The Kosli config file path. (default “kosli”)
—debug	[optional] Print debug logs to stdout. A boolean flag docs (default false)
-H, —host string	[defaulted] The Kosli endpoint. (default “https://app.kosli.com”)
—http-proxy string	[optional] The HTTP proxy URL including protocol and port number. e.g. ‘http://proxy-server-ip:proxy-port’
-r, —max-api-retries int	[defaulted] How many times should API calls be retried when the API host is not reachable. (default 3)
