Looks like I can use podman secrets to stash the NuGet config file and inject it into the build containers. (That's a far cleaner plan that the current "copy it into the right folder and hope the gitignore for is up to date).

Runtime secrets are already managed by storing them in a file and mounting the path (which is what this new command does anyway).


I want to script the container build somehow - especially if/as I'm going to need --secret arguments now. Since I'm Windows based now (weird, huh?), I should use poweshell, I just have to be careful not to accidentally write make by mistake.

(make doesn't do what I actually want, which is too run a program to get the date of a target. e.g., my source folder is dated last Tuesday, what's the date on the latest image? make wants me to touch image as part of the build but that's not source of truth (although I don't know how to get the build date of an image anyway))

But since poweshell runs under Linux anyway, a two line ppdman build, podman push script isn't the end of the world. If I'm careful, I only need one copy and it can pick up the tag from the source folder.

(Ok, now I want a 'build all' version that I can run after I've updated the shared project to bump version numbers in dependent projects, build, push, and restart them.)

(That's not so "out there", right? Also, I can add "increase project version on build" code, and maybe even "bump minor" and "bump major" options)
