bash history

[atselousov]

Guys, is it possible to add saving bash history between runs of develop jobs from the box? For example, create a file with history on storage in a project folder during setup and mount this file to file system in develop jobs.

Good idea! Though, we need to be very careful there. From security perspective, it might be a problem if the user's bash history file is sent to the Platform without asking for permission as it might contain sensitive information. I would think of it more carefully and if needed, implement this feature with a trigger-flag disabled by default.

I see one possible implementation, yet its super-ugly:

1. after starting the job, copy bash history file from the storage
2. update bash history file on storage:
3. during the job run - sync the file with the storage.

This leads to:

1. develop job singleton. we cannot dump the updates from several jobs.
2. obligatory mount of project folder into the job with R/W mode
   Not everybody will be sattisfied with that.

Do you need that @atselousov?
If yes, maybe it's a matter of docs. We might construct a config file for you, with help of which you will be able to sync bash history between job runs.

@atselousov, @mariyadavydova, another idea came into my mind.

What if we add a mixin, which will:

• use a volume (or even define, in future) for storing bash/zsh history + *.rc files
• point to the local bash/zsh files
• upload(volume) to the storage on job startup and mount it to the job's /root or /home/user folder
