tinklet

⚠ This is a WIP as it is not a drop in replacement for tink-worker yet ⚠

tinklet is an implementation of the tinkerbell worker.

Notable Features

• auth for multiple container registries
• multiple client-side TLS options for communicating with Tink server
• multiple backends [docker, kubernetes] for running workflow task actions

Design Philosophies

1. prefer easy to understand over easy to do
2. pkg packages do not log only return errors
3. pkg is generic, reuseable code
4. functions/methods should follow the single responsibility principle
5. less code, less bugs
6. prefer explicit over implicit
7. avoid global/package level variables as much as possible
