How to use the Lua plugin
Run Lua scripts inside a container as flow steps.
Common properties
containerImage defaults to a Lua image. taskRunner defaults to Docker and can be overridden for other execution environments.
Tasks
Script runs inline Lua code defined in the script property — best for short, flow-specific logic. Commands runs shell commands (e.g., lua main.lua) against script files; use it when your code lives in namespace files shared across flows, or is cloned from a Git repository with a preceding Clone task.
Install LuaRocks packages in beforeCommands with luarocks install <package>, or use a custom containerImage pre-built with your dependencies.
