hoverctl ci/cd configuration

[tommymcguiver]

I'm running hoverfly for integration tests in CI, and the setup is quite complicated. I have python middleware, multiple simulations for multiple services , the simulations are and dynamically and using hoverctl is more ergonomic than using hoverfly binary to configure all the things.

ATM i'm downloading the binaries in a docker image. It would be nicer and simpler IMO to have a hoverctl docker image to download the binary from WDYR?

Current Version

FROM alpine:latest as downloader
ARG HOVERFLY_VERSION=v1.11.0

RUN mkdir hf_download
WORKDIR /hf_download

# intall hoverfly
RUN apk --no-cache add curl unzip bash
RUN curl -L https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/releases/download/${HOVERFLY_VERSION}/hoverfly_bundle_linux_amd64.zip -o hoverfly.zip
RUN unzip -o hoverfly.zip -d /usr/local/bin

FROM python:3.13.3-slim AS builder
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

COPY . .
COPY --from=downloader /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin

EXPOSE 8500 8888 8499

CMD ["/scripts/start.sh"]

Simplier version

FROM python:3.13.3-slim AS builder
# install python
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

COPY --from=spectolabs/hoverfly:v1.11.0 /bin/hoverfly /bin/hoverfly
COPY --from=spectolabs/hoverctl:v1.11.0 /bin/hoverctl /bin/hoverctl

COPY . .

EXPOSE 8500 8888 8499

CMD ["/scripts/start.sh"]

@tommymcguiver If you need the hoverctl binary as well, you can download it from the github release page: https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/releases/tag/v1.11.0

Yep that's what i'm doing in the current version above to control hoverfly. I want to docker all the things to be simplier and faster to run in CI. I can create a MR to dockerise hoverctl ? Seems odd to only dockerise one binary.

I'm sure you can build dockerfile to add as many binary as you need. Are you thinking of having hoverctl in the official docker image?
