About

GitHub Action to build and push Docker images.


Usage

This action uses our setup-buildx action that extends the docker build command named buildx with the full support of the features provided by Moby BuildKit builder toolkik. This includes multi-arch build, build-secrets, remote cache, etc. and different builder deployment/namespacing options.

Quick start

name: ci

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: master
  push:
    branches: master
    tags:

jobs:
  buildx:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
      -
        name: Login to DockerHub
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-login@v1 # switch to docker/login-action@v1 when available 
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
      -
        name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
          platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm/v6,linux/arm/v7,linux/arm64,linux/386,linux/ppc64le,linux/s390x
          push: true
          tags: |
            user/app:latest
            user/app:1.0.0            

Bake

Buildx bake is also available with this action through the bake inputs:

name: ci

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: master
  push:
    branches: master
    tags:

jobs:
  bake:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
      -
        name: Login to DockerHub
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-login@v1 # switch to docker/login-action@v1 when available
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
      -
        name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
          push: true
          bake: true
          bake-files: |
            ./config.hcl            
          bake-targets: |
            default
            release            

Git context

You can build from Git directly without actions/checkout action, even in private repositories if your context is a valid Git url:

name: ci

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: master
  push:
    branches: master
    tags:

jobs:
  git-context:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
        with:
          version: latest
      -
        name: Login to DockerHub
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-login@v1 # switch to docker/login-action@v1 when available
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
      -
        name: Build and push
        uses: ./
        env:
          GIT_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
        with:
          context: "${{ github.repositoryUrl }}#${{ github.ref }}"
          builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
          platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/386
          push: true
          tags: |
