I'm using GitHub Actions to build a docker image using the build-push-action. I'd like to add tags to the image before pushing it to the docker registry:
latest
I have something along the lines of:
- name: Build and push
id: docker_build
uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
with:
context: .
push: true
tags:
- user/image:latest
It would be easy to always add more tags, but I want to add it only if there's a git tag. Is there a way to do that?
There's a docker/metadata-action
that does this. Make sure to set up the push tags trigger along with whatever other triggers you might need. The action docs have a lot more details about what tags it applies for each event trigger type. See also https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-docker-images for even more info on the general topic of Docker image publishing.
