init

The init command validates and normalizes a manifest file.

Usage

capsailer init --manifest <manifest-file>

Description

The init command performs the following actions:

1. Validates that the manifest file is properly formatted
2. Checks that all required fields are present
3. Normalizes image references (adds latest tag if missing)
4. Validates that chart references are properly formatted
5. Analyzes Helm charts for container image references
6. Warns about potential missing images in the manifest

Image Reference Analysis

When you run the init command with a manifest that includes Helm charts, Capsailer will provide information about the image reference rewriting feature and warn you about potential missing images. This helps ensure that all required images are included in your manifest.

For example, if you have a Redis chart in your manifest but no Redis image, the init command will suggest adding the Redis image to your manifest.
