Astrona bundle load

astrona bundle load

Load an offline bundle: verify it, load its images, unpack the lab

Synopsis

Verify a bundle (every image and addon manifest against its recorded SHA-256, the CPU architecture), load its images into Docker/Podman, seed the addon cache (only manifests matching astrona's own pinned versions are accepted), and unpack the lab into ~/.astrona/bundles/. Then run it like any local lab, with no network.

A bundle is someone else's code: like a remote lab, you're shown what it will do and asked once per bundle (--trust to approve without asking).

astrona bundle load <bundle.tar.gz> [flags]

Options

  -h, --help   help for load

Options inherited from parent commands

      --accept-terms      Accept this CLI's usage terms and data-loss risk notice; required on each operational CI command (read: astrona terms)
  -c, --config string     Path or URL to the lab config directory (with --git: a subdirectory within the cloned repo) (default ".")
  -f, --file string       Configuration file name override (default "config.yaml")
      --git string        Git repository URL to clone/pull (https://, git@host:, or ssh://) — --config then selects a subdirectory within it
      --git-ref string    Git branch, tag, or commit to check out (used with --git; default: the repo's default branch)
      --headless          Disable the terminal UI and CLI prompts; run/reset skip login reminders and new account sessions
      --install-version   If the lab needs another astrona release (astronaVersion) that isn't installed, install it without asking — for CI
      --trust             Approve running a remote (--git / URL) lab without asking — for CI; review the lab first
      --update-check      Check for new CLI releases (disabled in CI, without a terminal, or by ASTRONA_NO_UPDATE_CHECK) (default true)
      --verbose           Stream the full output of every underlying command instead of the compact step view
