Control binary download and network access by CLI

Problem

1. Prisma CLI needs write access for non-existent binaries. I’m using PRISMA_CLI_BINARY_TARGETS="rhel-openssl-1.0.x" npx prisma generate beforehand, but it may not be documented yet anywhere. I’m not desiring installing native binary for decreasing the size of shipping.
2. Migrate deployments always need network (Internet) access for checking digest sum even if the binary exists.

Error: request to https://binaries.prisma.sh/all_commits/5d491261d382a2a5ffdc71de17072b0e409f1cc1/linux-musl/query-engine.gz.sha256 failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN binaries.prisma.sh
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

Reproduce

No write accesss

chown -R -w node_modules

No network

docker run --rm -it --network none -v $PWD:/tmp/work node:14-alpine /bin/ash
cd /tmp/work
npx prisma deploy --preview-feature

Suggested solution

1. Add them to document, or add subcommand like prisma download rhel-openssl-1.0.x
2. Create options like --skip-check-sum, --no-network

Additional context

It’s also nice to set up the route to the Internet, but I’m downloading the binary by prisma generate and carrying it out to the environment right before running migration, so I wish this could be done. ( And it costs setting up just for this purpose… )

I encountered the problem while using the serverless model and migration in private network.

Thank you.

I’d like to second a request to enable something like --skip-check-sum, --no-network. I have a usecase where the post install doesn’t have access to the outside internet and therefore fails because it can’t download the checksum.

@James-Quigley yes I also have a situation where I need to run this without internet. --no-network would be great
