Action block with custom arguments?

Nomad

hello,

Can we setup an action block with custom args.

ie:

action "get-changelog" {
        command = "/usr/bin/curl"
        args = [
          "$1"
        ]
      }

and then give $1 on the UI ?

Hey @Antse, thanks for the request. It’s a good idea that I’ve been considering (see [Feature Request] Allow passing user arguments to nomad actions · Issue #24143 · hashicorp/nomad · GitHub) and my opposition has always been around “An operator shouldn’t be able to do anything that doesn’t feel locked down”

That said, with each passing week I come around to (typesafe? conditional?) parameter passing. I would welcome any ideas around why this might be useful to you, and I’ll try to get things planned.

Actually i prefer running an action with arguments instead of seeing someone starting a shell and running a command. :no_good_man:

Typical usecase : ruby stack, and want run some rails tasks.

But i understand your point legit !
