Bake definition

This action also handles a bake definition file that can be used with the Docker Buildx 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:
      - '**'
    tags:
      - 'v*'
  pull_request:

jobs:
  docker:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Docker meta
        id: docker_meta
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-meta@v1
        with:
          images: name/app
          tag-sha: true
          tag-semver: |
            {{version}}
            {{major}}.{{minor}}
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
      -
        name: Build
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-buildx-bake@v1
        with:
          files: |
            ./docker-bake.hcl
            ${{ steps.docker_meta.outputs.bake-file }}
          targets: |
            build

Content of ${{ steps.docker_meta.outputs.bake-file }} file will look like this:

{
  "target": {
    "ghaction-docker-meta": {
      "tags": [
        "name/app:1.1.1",
        "name/app:1.1",
        "name/app:latest"

Customizing

inputs

Following inputs can be used as step.with keys

List type is a newline-delimited string

label-custom: |
  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
`tag-sha`	Bool	Add git short commit as Docker tag (default `false`)
`tag-edge`	Bool	Enable edge branch tagging (default `false`)
`tag-edge-branch`	String	Branch that will be tagged as edge (default `repo.default_branch`)
`tag-semver`	List/CSV	Handle Git tag as semver template if possible
`tag-match`	String	RegExp to match against a Git tag and use first match as Docker tag
`tag-match-group`	Number	Group to get if `tag-match` matches (default `0`)
`tag-latest`	Bool	Set `latest` Docker tag if `tag-semver`, `tag-match` or Git tag event occurs (default `true`)
`tag-schedule`	String	Template to apply to schedule tag (default `nightly`)
`tag-custom`	List/CSV	List of custom tags
`tag-custom-only`	Bool	Only use `tag-custom` as Docker tags
`label-custom`	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`)

tag-semver and tag-match are mutually exclusive

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

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`	`v1.2.3`
`v1.2.3`	`{{version}}`	✅	`1.2.3`, `latest`	`1.2.3`
`v1.2.3`	`{{major}}.{{minor}}`	✅	`1.2`, `latest`	`1.2`
`v1.2.3`	`v{{major}}`	✅	`v1`, `latest`	`v1`
`v1.2.3`	`{{minor}}`	✅	`2`, `latest`	`2`
`v1.2.3`	`{{patch}}`	✅	`3`, `latest`	`3`
`v1.2.3`	`{{major}}.{{minor}}` `{{major}}.{{minor}}.{{patch}}`	✅	`1.2`, `1.2.3`, `latest`	`1.2`*
`v2.0.8-beta.67`	`{{raw}}`	✅	`2.0.8-beta.67`**	`2.0.8-beta.67`
`v2.0.8-beta.67`	`{{version}}`	✅	`2.0.8-beta.67`	`2.0.8-beta.67`
`v2.0.8-beta.67`	`{{major}}.{{minor}}`	✅	`2.0.8-beta.67`**	`2.0.8-beta.67`
`release1`	`{{raw}}`	❌	`release1`	`release1`

*First occurrence of tag-semver will be taken as output.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.

`tag-match` examples

Git tag	`tag-match`	`tag-match-group`	Match	Output tags	Output version
`v1.2.3`	`\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}`	`0`	✅	`1.2.3`, `latest`	`1.2.3`
`v2.0.8-beta.67`	`v(.*)`	`1`	✅	`2.0.8-beta.67`, `latest`	`2.0.8-beta.67`
`v2.0.8-beta.67`	`v(\d.\d)`	`1`	✅	`2.0`, `latest`	`2.0`
`release1`	`\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}`	`0`	❌	`release1`	`release1`
`20200110-RC2`	`\d+`	`0`	✅	`20200110`, `latest`	`20200110`

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
