This is useful if you `docker push` your images to Docker Hub. It provides an easy, automated way to keep your Docker Hub repository description in sync with your GitHub repository `README.md` file. ## Usage ```yml - name: Docker Hub Description uses: peter-evans/dockerhub-description@v2 with: username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }} password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD }} repository: peterevans/dockerhub-description ``` ### Action inputs **Note**: Docker Hub [Personal Access Tokens](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/access-tokens/) cannot be used as they are not supported by the API. See [here](https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/1927) and [here](https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/1914) for further details. Unfortunately, this means that enabling 2FA on Docker Hub will prevent the action from working. | Name | Description | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | `username` | (**required**) Docker Hub username. If updating a Docker Hub repository belonging to an organization, this user must have `Admin` permissions for the repository. | | | `password` | (**required**) Docker Hub password. | | | `repository` | Docker Hub repository in the format `/`. | `github.repository` | | `readme-filepath` | Path to the repository readme. | `./README.md` | #### Specifying the file path The action assumes that there is a file called `README.md` located at the root of the repository. If this is not the case the path can be specified with the `readme-filepath` input. ```yml - name: Docker Hub Description uses: peter-evans/dockerhub-description@v2 with: username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }} password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD }} repository: peterevans/dockerhub-description readme-filepath: ./path/to/README.md ``` ### Examples The following workflow updates the Docker Hub repository description whenever there are changes to `README.md` and the workflow file itself on the `master` branch. This workflow assumes its location to be `.github/workflows/dockerhub-description.yml`. ```yml name: Update Docker Hub Description on: push: branches: - master paths: - README.md - .github/workflows/dockerhub-description.yml jobs: dockerHubDescription: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Docker Hub Description uses: peter-evans/dockerhub-description@v2 with: username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }} password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD }} repository: peterevans/dockerhub-description ``` Updates the Docker Hub repository description whenever a new release is created. ```yml name: Update Docker Hub Description on: release jobs: dockerHubDescription: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Docker Hub Description uses: peter-evans/dockerhub-description@v2 with: username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }} password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD }} repository: peterevans/dockerhub-description ``` ## Using the Docker image independently of GitHub Actions The image can be executed in other environments independently of GitHub Actions. Simply volume mount the location of the `README.md` file to the container and set environment variables as follows. ```bash docker run -v $PWD:/workspace \ -e DOCKERHUB_USERNAME='user1' \ -e DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD='xxxxx' \ -e DOCKERHUB_REPOSITORY='user1/my-docker-image' \ -e README_FILEPATH='/workspace/README.md' \ peterevans/dockerhub-description:2 ``` ## License [MIT](LICENSE)
