Is there an existing issue for this?

Priority

Major

Current Behavior

Today kantra is expected to run on folks machines and spin up containers to run the analysis engine.

Expected Behavior

It would be really nice if a user could do docker run -v <output_dir>:/tmp/<output_dir> -v <input_dir>:/tmp/<input_dir> quay.io/konveyor/kantra -- analyze --input /tmp/<input_dir> --output /tmp/<output_dir> and have the entire analysis run in a single image.

This would remove the burden on the user significantly.

Anything else?

Closing as decided to not complete

Just so its clear - not implementing this requirement requires that a user run/install kantra directly on their machines. There is no option to offer kantra as a container image that someone could then run.

Was discussing with @dymurray and @pranavgaikwad and we decided on a work-around using analyzer-lsp directly, as a huge percentage of kantra's code is to support how it currently runs (each command in a new container). This means integrating this issue would require a huge re-write. I think an issue or instructions were created for the alternative, but we possibly forgot to share. @dymurray I can't remember if this has been done. If not, I don't mind doing so.
