Providing Kubedock executable binaries as a Jar File

[emeth-kim]

If Kubedock is offered as a Jar file, it could significantly improve the testing workflow in Java projects. Enabling Kubedock execution at the code level before Testcontainer would allow for a more effective testing environment. This change is expected to simplify the integration and usage of Kubedock, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the development process.

Implementation Steps:

1. Detecting OS and Architecture.

2. Extracting Executable Binary from Jar:

   • Embed the required executables within the jar file.
   • The jar, once deployed on Maven, will be easily accessible to Java developers, streamlining their workflow.

3. Executing the Executable Binary Before Testcontainer.

Hi I'm willing to pick this one up if it's still open and needed. Some quick questions:

• Where would you want the jar file to live?
• would we need to implement an automatic recreation based upon the current production build?

@YorickdeJong
Thank you for your response. Here are my answers:

1. Maven
2. Yes (possibly with GitHub Actions?)

Are you planning to implement this feature?
