kosli attest artifact #

Synopsis #

Attest an artifact creation to a Kosli flow.

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.

To specify paths in a directory artifact that should always be excluded from the SHA256 calculation, you can add a .kosli_ignore file to the root of the artifact. Each line should specify a relative path or path glob to be ignored. You can include comments in this file, using #. The .kosli_ignore will be treated as part of the artifact like any other file,unless it is explicitly ignored itself. This command requires access to a git repo to associate the artifact to the git commit it is originating from. You can optionally redact some of the git commit data sent to Kosli using --redact-commit-info

Flags #

Flag	Description
--annotate stringToString	[optional] Annotate the attestation with data using key=value.
-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).
-b, --build-url string	The url of CI pipeline that built the artifact. (defaulted in some CIs: https://docs.kosli.com/ci-defaults ).
-g, --commit string	[defaulted] The git commit from which the artifact was created. (defaulted in some CIs: https://docs.kosli.com/ci-defaults, otherwise defaults to HEAD ). (default "HEAD")
-u, --commit-url string	The url for the git commit that created the artifact. (defaulted in some CIs: https://docs.kosli.com/ci-defaults ).
-N, --display-name string	[optional] Artifact display name, if different from file, image or directory name.
-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.
--external-fingerprint stringToString	[optional] A SHA256 fingerprint of an external attachment represented by --external-url. The format is label=fingerprint (labels cannot contain '.' or '='). This flag can be set multiple times. There must be an external url with a matching label for each external fingerprint.
--external-url stringToString	[optional] Add labeled reference URL for an external resource. The format is label=url (labels cannot contain '.' or '='). This flag can be set multiple times. If the resource is a file or dir, you can optionally add its fingerprint via --external-fingerprint
-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 artifact
-n, --name string	The name of the artifact in the yml template file.
--redact-commit-info strings	[optional] The list of commit info to be redacted before sending to Kosli. Allowed values are one or more of [author, message, branch].
--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.
--repo-root string	[defaulted] The directory where the source git repository is available. (default ".")
-T, --trail string	The Kosli trail name.

Flags inherited from parent commands #

Flag	Description
-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 https://docs.kosli.com/faq/#boolean-flags (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)
--org string	The Kosli organization.
