feature: windmill CLI Docker image

For integration into CI/CD systems, it would be nice to have a pre-built Docker image containing the wmill CLI tool, so that actions/jobs do not have to download the dependencies on each run.

The entrypoint MAY be pointing to the wmill executable, but arbitrary script execution via Bourne (again) shells SHOULD still be possible by replacing the entrypoint.

We will probably release such an image in the next few days

thanks for the CLI Docker image, we really need it.

We are unfortunately unable to use it for the wmill init

$  docker run --rm  ghcr.io/windmill-labs/windmill-cli --version
wmill 1.410.3
$ touch wmill.yaml
$ docker run --rm  -v ./wmill.yaml:/wmill.yaml ghcr.io/windmill-labs/windmill-cli init
wmill.yaml already exists

some basic bash commands would be usefult in the image (ls, cat, whoami pause, ps,...)

$ docker run --rm --entrypoint=/usr/bin/bash ghcr.io/windmill-labs/windmill-cli --version

Where can we find reference on what

For anyone still struggling with the dockerised version of the CLI, here's my docker-compose. This creates a persistent container with the Windmill CLI, just need to connect to the container's console to run wmill commands.

  windmill-cli:
    container_name: windmill-cli
    image: ghcr.io/windmill-labs/windmill-cli:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: 1000:1000                # Set user as needed, should match owner of workspace files.
    tty: true
    entrypoint: [ "/usr/bin/bash", "-l", "-c" ]
    command: ["tail", "-f", "/dev/null"]
    environment:
      # Make NodeJS trust extra certs:
      NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS: "/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ca-certificates.crt" # Trust extra certs (mounted below).
    volumes:
      # Mount extra certs from docker host if we need NodeJS to trust additional CAs:
