Molot is useful for creating entry points in your Docker images.
Let's say we want to fetch latest and oldest releases for this repository. See entrypoint.py for an example implementation.
It works by fetching all releases from the API and saving them as a temporary JSON file first, which subsequent targets load to print the latest and oldest releases.
You can build and run the example Docker image like so:
make runSee noteworthy details that this example demonstrates below.
Notice how fetch target is a dependency of both, latest and oldest? That means even if you execute both targets ./entrypoint.py latest oldest, fetch will run only once before the first target that depends on it.
This example optionally allows you to pass GITHUB_TOKEN as an environment argument. Because it's configured as sensitive=True, it will be masked in the output.
