[FEATURE] Convert distillery release to executable
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current install / run process of wasmcloud is a little clunky, download a tarball, extract, then run ./bin/wasmcloud_host
wherever it's extracted to.
Describe the solution you'd like
With the --executable
flag, distillery supports creating a self-extracting tarball that will extract and execute all in one command. The run process would then be
- Download the
- -wasmcloud script (it's shown as a POSIX shell script, but works the same on different machines) - Move that script to your path, calling it
wasmcloud
- Run
wasmcloud foreground
(still need to examine if this will work in/usr/local/bin
, it extracts the host files under atmp
directory
This will greatly simplify the download, install, and run process for those not used to elixir releases, as well as our documentation.
