Feature/Enhancement Request: Cloud Deploy about webify HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @Grynn, thanks for your suggestion!

I'd like to avoid cloud platform specific build integrations as there will be a lot of complexity to implement and maintain going forward. The focus here is for webify to be a very simple building block, completely decoupled from the application itself, as well as from build and deployment systems.

We currently use webify on both AWS and K8s, and the way we've achieved this is by using a Dockerfile to bake the script into an image directly inside our CI system. This should be platform agnostic as you could build from Windows, and Docker builds should be broadly available in CI systems.

Using -v is okay for playing around locally, but in any external environment it is definitely better to build an image and run that instead.

Example:

Your script that you would like to run (example.sh):

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello world"

Dockerfile:

FROM beefsack/webify:latest
COPY example.sh /script
RUN chmod +x /script

Build:

$ docker build -t my/app .
$ # Realistically, you would then push the image to an image repository here, and then pull it from the target system
$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 my/app
$ curl http://localhost:8080
Hello world

Closing the issue for now, but we can revisit if this falls within scope later on.
