@alexbabel/semantic-release-docker

What is different in comparison to the upstream project?

This plugin also takes care of building the image. Therefore your ci file is much more simplified.

Set of semantic-release plugins for publishing a docker image to GitLab Container Registry.

Configuration

Environment variables: | Variable | Description | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | CI_REGISTRY | The registry to push to | ghcr.io | | CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE | The name of the image including the registry domain | $CI_REGISTRY/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY | | CI_REGISTRY_USER | The user to use to authenticate against the registry | $GITHUB_ACTOR (fallback: AlexanderBabel) | | CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD | The password for the specified user | |

Plugins

verifyConditions

Verify that all needed configuration is present and login to the GitLab Container Registry.

prepare

Build the docker image. You can pass additional build arguments if needed.

publish

Tag the image with the new version, push it to GitLab Container Registry and update the latest tag.

Multi Platform builds: Can be skipped by using "skipPublish": true in the semantic release configuration. When using buildx you'll need to use the --push argument (Reason).

Example .gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - test
  - release

test:
  image: node:alpine
  stage: test
  before_script:
    - npm i
  script:
    - npm t

release:
  image: node:alpine
  stage: release
  before_script:
    - npm i
  script:
    - npx semantic-release
  only:
    - master

Example GitHub workflow file

name: Release a new version
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
      - development

jobs:
  release:
    if: |
      !(github.event_name == 'push' && contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[skip ci]')) &&
      !(github.event_name == 'pull_request' && contains(join(github.event.pull_request.title, github.event.pull_request.body), '[skip ci]'))
