About
GitHub Action to extract metadata (tags, labels) for Docker. This action is particularly useful if used with Docker Build Push action.
If you are interested, check out my other :octocat: GitHub Actions!

Bake definition
This action also handles a bake definition file that can be used with the
Docker Bake action. You just have to declare an empty target named
ghaction-docker-meta
and inherit from it.
// docker-bake.hcl
target "ghaction-docker-meta" {}
target "build" {
inherits = ["ghaction-docker-meta"]
context = "./"
dockerfile = "Dockerfile"
platforms = ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm/v6", "linux/arm/v7", "linux/arm64", "linux/386", "linux/ppc64le"]
}

Notes
Latest tag
Latest Docker tag will be generated by default on push tag
event. If for example you push the v1.2.3
Git tag,
you will have at the output of this action the Docker tags v1.2.3
and latest
. But you can allow the latest tag to be
generated only if tag-semver
is a valid semver or if Git tag matches a regular expression
with the tag-match
input. Can be disabled if tag-latest
is false
.
Handle semver tag
If Git tag is a valid semver you can handle it to output multi Docker tags at once.
tag-semver
supports multi-line Handlebars template with the following inputs:
Git tag | tag-semver |
Valid | Output tags | Output version |
---|---|---|---|---|
v1.2.3 |
{{raw}} |
✅ | v1.2.3 , latest |

❌ | release1 |
release1 |
*First occurrence of
tag-semver
will be taken asoutput.version
**Pre-release (rc, beta, alpha) will only extend
{{version}}
as tag because they are updated frequently, and contain many breaking changes that are (by the author's design) not yet fit for public consumption.

Schedule tag
tag-schedule
is specially crafted input to support Handlebars template with
the following expressions:
Expression | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
{{date 'format'}} |
{{date 'YYYYMMDD'}} > 20200110 |
Render date by its moment format |
You can find more examples in the CI workflow.
Overwrite labels
If some of the OCI Image Format Specification labels generated are not suitable, you can overwrite them like this:
-
name: Docker meta
id: docker_meta
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-meta@v1
with:
images: name/app
label-custom: |
maintainer=CrazyMax
org.opencontainers.image.title=MyCustomTitle
org.opencontainers.image.description=Another description
org.opencontainers.image.vendor=MyCompany
