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"]
}
name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'master'
    tags:
      - 'v*'

jobs:
  docker:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Docker meta
        id: meta
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-meta@v2
        with:
          images: name/app
          tags: |
            type=ref,event=branch
            type=ref,event=pr
            type=semver,pattern={{version}}
            type=semver,pattern={{major}}.{{minor}}
            type=sha            
      -
        name: Build
        uses: docker/bake-action@v1
        with:
          files: |
            ./docker-bake.hcl
            ${{ steps.meta.outputs.bake-file }}            
          targets: build

Content of ${{ steps.meta.outputs.bake-file }} file will look like this with refs/tags/v1.2.3 ref:

{
  "target": {
    "ghaction-docker-meta": {
      "tags": [
        "name/app:1.2.3",
        "name/app:1.2",
        "name/app:sha-90dd603",
        "name/app:latest"
      ],
      "labels": {
        "org.opencontainers.image.title": "Hello-World",
        "org.opencontainers.image.description": "This your first repo!",
        "org.opencontainers.image.url": "https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World",
        "org.opencontainers.image.source": "https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World",

      },
      "args": {
        "DOCKER_META_IMAGES": "name/app",

Customizing

inputs

Following inputs can be used as step.with keys

List type is a newline-delimited string

labels: |
  org.opencontainers.image.title=MyCustomTitle
  org.opencontainers.image.description=Another description
  org.opencontainers.image.vendor=MyCompany  

CSV type is a comma-delimited string

images: name/app,ghcr.io/name/app
Name Type Description
images List/CSV List of Docker images to use as base name for tags
tags List List of tags as key-value pair attributes
flavor List Flavor to apply
labels List List of custom labels
sep-tags String Separator to use for tags output (default \n)
sep-labels String Separator to use for labels output (default \n)
bake-target String Bake target name (default ghaction-docker-meta)

outputs

Following outputs are available

Name Type Description
version String Docker image version
tags String Docker tags
labels String Docker labels
bake-file File Bake definition file path

flavor input

flavor defines a global behavior for tags:

flavor: |
  latest=auto
  prefix=
  suffix=  
  • latest=<auto|true|false>: Handle latest tag (default auto)
  • prefix=<string>: A global prefix for each generated tag
  • suffix=<string>: A global suffix for each generated tag

tags input

tags is the core input of this action as everything related to it will reflect the output metadata. This one is in the form of a key-value pair list in CSV format to remove limitations intrinsically linked to GitHub Actions (only string format is handled in the input fields). Here is an example:

tags: |
  type=schedule
  type=ref,event=branch
  type=ref,event=pr
  type=semver,pattern={{version}}
  type=semver,pattern={{major}}.{{minor}}
  type=semver,pattern={{major}}
  type=sha  

Each entry is defined by a type, which are:

And global attributes:

  • enable=<true|false> enable this entry (default true)
  • priority=<number> priority to manage the order of tags
  • prefix=<string> add prefix
  • suffix=<string> add suffix

Default entries if tags input is empty:

tags: |
  type=schedule
  type=ref,event=branch
  type=ref,event=tag
  type=ref,event=pr  

type=schedule

tags: |
  # minimal
  type=schedule
  # default
  type=schedule,pattern=nightly
  # handlebars
  type=schedule,pattern={{date 'YYYYMMDD'}}  

Will be used on schedule event.

pattern is a specially crafted attribute to support Handlebars template with the following expressions:

Pattern Output
nightly nightly
{{date 'YYYYMMDD'}} 20210326

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  type=schedule,enable=true,priority=1000,prefix=,suffix=,pattern=nightly  

type=semver

tags: |
  # minimal
  type=semver,pattern={{version}}
  # use custom value instead of git tag
  type=semver,pattern={{version}},value=v1.0.0  

Will be used on a push tag event and requires a valid Git tag semver but you can also use a custom value through value attribute.

pattern attribute supports Handlebars template with the following expressions:

  • raw ; the actual semver
  • version ; shorthand for {{major}}.{{minor}}.{{patch}} (can include pre-release)
  • major ; major version identifier
  • minor ; minor version identifier
  • patch ; patch version identifier
Git tag Pattern Output
v1.2.3 {{raw}} v1.2.3
v1.2.3 {{version}} 1.2.3
v1.2.3 {{major}}.{{minor}} 1.2
v1.2.3 v{{major}} v1
v1.2.3 {{minor}} 2
v1.2.3 {{patch}} 3
v2.0.8-beta.67 {{raw}} 2.0.8-beta.67*
v2.0.8-beta.67 {{version}} 2.0.8-beta.67
v2.0.8-beta.67 {{major}}.{{minor}} 2.0.8-beta.67*

*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.

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  type=semver,enable=true,priority=900,prefix=,suffix=,pattern=,value=  

type=match

tags: |
  # minimal
  type=match,pattern=\d.\d.\d
  # define match group
  type=match,pattern=v(.*),group=1
  # use custom value instead of git tag
  type=match,pattern=v(.*),group=1,value=v1.0.0  

Can create a regular expression for matching Git tag with a pattern and capturing group. Will be used on a push tag event but you can also use a custom value through value attribute.

Git tag Pattern Group Output
v1.2.3 \d.\d.\d 0 1.2.3
v2.0.8-beta.67 v(.*) 1 2.0.8-beta.67
v2.0.8-beta.67 v(\d.\d) 1 2.0
20200110-RC2 \d+ 0 20200110
p1/v1.2.3 p1-v(\d.\d.\d) 1 1.2.3

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  type=match,enable=true,priority=800,prefix=,suffix=,pattern=,group=0,value=  

type=edge

tags: |
  # minimal
  type=edge
  # define default branch
  type=edge,branch=main  

An edge tag reflects the last commit of the active branch on your Git repository. I usually prefer to use edge as a Docker tag for a better distinction or common pattern. This is also used by official images like Alpine.

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  type=edge,enable=true,priority=700,prefix=,suffix=,branch=$repo.default_branch  

type=ref

tags: |
  # branch event
  type=ref,event=branch
  # tag event
  type=ref,event=tag
  # pull request event
  type=ref,event=pr  

This type handles Git ref (or reference) for the following events:

  • branch ; eg. refs/heads/master
  • tag ; eg. refs/tags/v1.0.0
  • pr ; eg. refs/pull/318/merge
Event Ref Output
pull_request refs/pull/2/merge pr-2
push refs/heads/master master
push refs/heads/my/branch my-branch
push tag refs/tags/v1.2.3 v1.2.3
push tag refs/tags/v2.0.8-beta.67 v2.0.8-beta.67

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  # branch event
  type=ref,enable=true,priority=600,prefix=,suffix=,event=
  # tag event
  type=ref,enable=true,priority=600,prefix=,suffix=,event=
  # pull request event
  type=ref,enable=true,priority=600,prefix=pr-,suffix=,event=  

type=raw

tags: |
  type=raw,value=foo
  type=raw,value=bar
  # or
  type=raw,foo
  type=raw,bar
  # or
  foo
  bar  

Output custom tags according to your needs.

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  type=raw,enable=true,priority=200,prefix=,suffix=,value=  

type=sha

tags: |
  # minimal
  type=sha  

Output Git short commit as Docker tag like sha-ad132f5.

Extended attributes and default values:

tags: |
  type=sha,enable=true,priority=100,prefix=sha-,suffix=  

Notes

Latest tag

latest tag is handled through the flavor input. It will be generated by default (auto mode) for:

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@v2
        with:
          images: name/app
          labels: |
            maintainer=CrazyMax
            org.opencontainers.image.title=MyCustomTitle
            org.opencontainers.image.description=Another description
            org.opencontainers.image.vendor=MyCompany
