Include "tar" in the container to be able to "kubectl cp"

[gl]

gostatic is a very useful tool to publish files on the fly for testing. However putting files into the container in a kubernetes environement is not that easy as "kubectl cp" requires "tar" to be present in the container.

Is it an option for you ?

IMHO that would needlessly enlarge the container image for everyone.
If you need that feature you should develop your own Dockerfile and build your custom image.

I never found a solution to this problem, so I finally wrote an application to copy files without tar.
It is just a beta, but is working fine on my environment.
