Publish to github registry about automerge-action HOT 9 CLOSED

I understand the need for this, but unfortunately this feature does not seem to be ready yet, see this forum thread: https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/docker-pull-from-public-GitHub-Package-Registry-fail-with-quot/td-p/32782

However, I have pushed v0.6.0 to docker.pkg.github.com now, so when GH enables the feature, you should be able to switch to using the pre-built Docker image immediately.

For security reasons, I recommend to use the full SHA, when referencing the Docker image (as I also recommend when referencing the action from GH directly). So the workflow file should look like this:

# [...]
jobs:
  automerge:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: automerge
        uses: "docker://docker.pkg.github.com/pascalgn/automerge-action/automerge-action:c7859ab63774304798c4dd36ed106b59bbf728974117a9f350cac756d80d9e37"
        # [...]

(the usual Docker syntax would be docker.pkg.github.com/pascalgn/automerge-action/automerge-action@sha256:c7859ab63774304798c4dd36ed106b59bbf728974117a9f350cac756d80d9e37, but for some reason GH chose to use a slightly different syntax here)

Also, I pushed that image manually, but when someone finds a good example where the action is automatically built and pushed to docker.pkg.github.com, feel free to link it here!

I will leave this issue open until GH fully supports pulling from docker.pkg.github.com in actions.

The action is now a JS action and no longer uses Docker now (see #125 and #135) so I will close this 😊

Github Actions have become GA and the minutes for private repositories have become chargeable. This will help save some minutes.

Just had a dig into this as running hundreds of this action a day is eating into our Actions minutes, and Microsoft still has not fixed this issue :(

Thanks for leaving this open though, hopefully we'll see a fix one day

Not sure I understand how this action differs from others I use, but I get An action could not be found at the URI 'https://api.github.com/repos/pascalgn/automerge-action/tarball/0.8.4' if I use uses: "pascalgn/[email protected]" is that caused by this issue? It's probably worth calling out in the readme because it seems to be unique to this action.

I think it's not related to this issue, it could be because you use 0.8.4 instead of v0.8.4. If it's fine for you, I would like to ask you to create a new issue for that topic, if you have additional questions/remarks.

from automerge-action.

Yup, that was the issue. Sorry for the noise! 😊

Hi, have you considered publishing the docker image to DockerHub until GitHub solves (if ever) the authentication issue with their own registry?

I'm referring to this answer in the community thread: https://github.community/t/docker-pull-from-public-github-package-registry-fail-with-no-basic-auth-credentials-error/16358/37

PS. I'm not a Docker 🧙 , therefore, I'm not sure if it'll work but I'm willing to help with reducing GH Action minutes usage in this case.

@pascalgn Could this allow us to cache the Docker image here?
