NOTICE: This repo/action is no longer being maintained.

At GlueOps we have migrated towards using this manifest (see below) so that we can maintain flexibility per repository/image. If you are using GHCR.io as your registry this yaml should provide a drop in replacement:

name: Publish to GHCR.io
 
on: [push]

env:
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}

  build_tag_push_to_ghcr:

Custom Action to build and push Docker images to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io), Docker Hub (docker.io), and AWS ECR

Automate your Docker image deployments effortlessly with this custom GitHub Action! 🚀💪 Configure the event using the GitHub Actions on: clause to determine what triggers builds. This Action supports both public and private repositories for ghcr, docker, and ecr. The default registry is ghcr.io.

💡 Benefits

✅ Streamlined workflow: Say goodbye to tedious configuration and manual image deployments.

✅ Increased efficiency: Focus on developing and let the CI/CD pipeline handle image distribution.

✅ Seamless integration: simplifies container image management.

✅ Default Image Tagging: Out-of-the-box tagging with the below elements. The default tags can be overridden by passing in a comma-separated string of desired tags, e.g. "my-tag" or "my-tag-1,my-tag-2". Tags are generated with the create-glueops-image-tags action.

• Target Reference: Either Branch Name or Tag, depending upon the trigger context.
• Short SHA
• SHA

🛠️ How to Use

For detailed usage instructions, refer to the GlueOps Documentation.
