Docs for "connect-api" and "connect-sync"

I was able to find and download the docker images as tar files and was able to crack them open and find the raw binaries.  I had mixed results when trying to execute them.

Is there documentation for these binaries if we wanted to try to run these standalone (outside of a docker container)?  How would one point it to the "1password-credentials.json" file - as the "docker-compose.yaml" file tells docker to stick it in a "opuser" directory (a home directory within the docker container).

volumes: - "./1password-credentials.json:/home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json" - "data:/home/opuser/.op/data"

Just looking for documentation that might help me do this? 
Has anyone else done this?

    Thanks for your response.  Sorry my delay in getting back to you.  Very busy dealing with a family issue - aging parents.

    An updated Docker image would be fantastic, but unless it will be updated on regular cadence, our ISO department will reject its use.  Again the updates have to be nothing than review of compatibility and address any possible security findings.   If the docker container is updated when there are updates to the application - I would think that should be acceptable, unfortunately I do not make those calls.

    If we wanted to stand-up a Connect Server that did not operate out of a Docker container:

    • If there are regular updates to the binaries that are found in the Docker container, specifically the “connect-api” and “connect-sync”, where can I find the latest versions?
    • Is there any documentation outside of the docker container documentation for these binaries?
    • Is the CLI package required to utilize these binaries or create a connect server?
  • Hi jewettg​ ,

    We’re close to releasing the updated Docker images. These should remove the need to run things independently of Docker.

    If you’d still prefer to go that route, I’m happy to share some resources to help you get started—just let me know.

    Thanks,
    Phil
