Files Artifacts
Kurtosis enclaves can store files for later use. Files stored in a Kurtosis enclave are stored as compressed TGZ files. These TGZs are called "files artifacts".
For example, a user can upload files on their machine to an enclave like so:
kurtosis files upload $SOME_PATH
If $SOME_PATH is a file, that single file will be packaged inside the files artifact. If $SOME_PATH is a directory, all of the directory's contents will be packaged inside the files artifact.
Doing so will return a randomly-generated ID and name that can be used to reference the files artifact for later use.
For example, the --files flag of kurtosis service add can be used to mount the contents of a files artifact at specified location. This command will mount the contents of files artifact test-artifact at the /data directory:
kurtosis service add "some-enclave" "some-service-name" --files "/data:test-artifact"
The same files artifact can be reused many times because the contents of a files artifact is copied when it is used.
