Publish Docker Action

GitHub Action codecov GitHub release (latest SemVer) Docker Pulls

Publish Docker Action builds, creates tags and pushes docker image to your docker registry.

Usage

This simple example uses Dockerfile in your workspace to build image, attach the latest tag and push to docker default registry (docker.io). Repository name is your GitHub repository name by default.

- uses: jerray/publish-docker-action@master
  with:
    username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
    password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}

Use file and path arguments to set docker build file or build context if they are not in the default workspace.

Set up registry and repository name

You can set docker registry with registry argument. Change docker repository name with repository argument. For example:

- uses: jerray/publish-docker-action@master
  with:
    username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
    password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
    registry: docker.pkg.github.com
    repository: jerray/publish-docker-action

This will build and push the tag docker.pkg.github.com/jerray/publish-docker-action:latest.

Tags

Static Tag List

You can use static tag list by providing tags argument. Concat multiple tag names with commas.

- uses: jerray/publish-docker-action@master
  with:
    username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
    password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
    registry: docker.pkg.github.com
    repository: jerray/publish-docker-action
    tags: latest,newest,master

This example builds the image, creates three tags, and pushes all of them to the registry.

  • docker.pkg.github.com/jerray/publish-docker-action:latest
  • docker.pkg.github.com/jerray/publish-docker-action:newest
  • docker.pkg.github.com/jerray/publish-docker-action:master

Auto Tag

Set with.auto_tag: true to allow action generate docker image tags automatically.

- uses: jerray/publish-docker-action@master
  with:
    username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
    password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
    registry: docker.pkg.github.com
    repository: jerray/publish-docker-action
    auto_tag: true

Generated tags vary with refs types:

  • branch: uses the branch name as docker tag name (master branch is renamed to latest).
  • pull request: attaches a pr- prefix to branch name asdocker image tag. To allow pull request build, you must set with.allow_pull_request to true.
  • tag: checks if the tag name is valid semantic version format (prefix v is allowed). If not, it uses git tag name as docker image tag directly. Else it generates three tags based on the version number, each followed with pre-release information.

Examples:

Git Docker Tag
branch master latest
branch 2019/09/28-new-feature 2019-09-28-new-feature (/ is replaced to -)
pull request master pr-master
tag 1.0.0 1, 1.0, 1.0.0
tag v1.0.0 1, 1.0, 1.0.0
tag v1.0.0-rc1 1-rc1, 1.0-rc1, 1.0.0-rc1
tag 20190921-actions 20190921-actions (not semantic version)

Auto tagging will override with.tags list.

Additionally, there's an output value tag you can use in your next steps.

- id: build
  uses: jerray/publish-docker-action@master
  with:
    username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
    password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
    registry: docker.pkg.github.com
    repository: jerray/publish-docker-action
    auto_tag: true

- id: deploy
  env:
    NEW_VERSION: ${{ steps.build.outputs.tag }}
  run: |
    docker pull $NEW_VERSION

Cache

Provide with.cache argument to build from cache.

Build Args

Use with.build_args to provide docker build-time variables. Multiple variables must be separated by comma.

- uses: jerray/publish-docker-action@master
  with:
    username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
    password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
    registry: docker.pkg.github.com
    repository: jerray/publish-docker-action
    build_args: HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1,USER=nginx

Target for Multi-Stage Builds

Provide with.target argument to set --target flag for docker build.

Note

Please use the latest released version rather than master.
