Plugins

Plugins are tasks that run during a workflow but are not part of the main workflow. Plugins can be treated as just another task, however, plugins do not have completion or failure detection.

Example definition of a plugin:

  plugins:
    monitor:
        image: ghcr.io/galleybytes/monitor:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        when: After
        task: setup

The above plugin task will run after the setup task has completed.

Alternatively, a plugin can be triggered to start at the same time of another task. For example:

  plugins:
    monitor:
        image: ghcr.io/galleybytes/monitor:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        when: At
        task: setup

Each plugin is run once per generation. Plugins that are older than the current generation are automatically reaped.
