convert entrypoint to js
croconut opened this issue · 4 comments
The entrypoint file is in bash, which is an unwieldy, barely readable language. Despite the efforts to make bash more friendly, JavaScript would make for a much more flexible/maintainable language.
That said, when using the node ecosystem, updates/maintenance essentially becomes required so I'm very open to changing to a slower moving language.
This should just be a 1-to-1 translation. Can do node, I think GitHub actions has a action runner setup specifically to do node. Downside is if we go outside vanilla js dependency management becomes a concern, but we can just set up dependabot and freeze it for at least a few years by using most recent LTS release.
Do you plan to work on this one? I've got a couple other projects to visit this weekend, but I could also give this one a shot.

yeah, i dont really want to saddle you with something that im just doing because i find bash annoying lol
I made time to work on this since I already had a good map of how the code works due to my recent refactoring in #27
I just wrapped up my branch and rebased it on top of master. Those Dockerfile changes didn't play well with the node:16 image, lol. I'll fix that Soon™
