Generic File Handling for Arkime Containers

[chelma]

Description

As part of #76, code was added to deliver configuration and other files to the Arkime Containers (Capture, Viewer) during the startup phase. Future tasks, including #77, as well as conversations with potential users (especially around SAML usage, see #78) indicate a need to make configuration more accessible to users.

This task is to design and implement a generic way to specify files that should be delivered to the Capture and Viewer containers and, optionally, have some actions performed upon delivery.

Acceptance Criteria

• Propose/get review of a design for generic file handling/delivery that includes the following characteristics
  • User can specify the file contents and the in-container delivery location
  • User can specify shell actions to take before/after delivery
  • No special logic should be required for any given file in the container startup script
• Implement for the existing files delivered to the Capture and Viewer containers

Proposal posted; has some rough edges but think it's headed in the right direction. Looking forward to feedback.

#81

We now have a gameplan for how we'll handle configuration in the containers (#81). Will split into a new set of tasks to make progress easier to track.
