Apify base Docker images

Public Docker images for Apify Actor serverless platform (https://docs.apify.com/actor)

The sources for the images are present in subdirectories that are named as the corresponding Docker image. For example, the node directory corresponds to the apify/actor-node Docker image.

The images are using the following tags:

Tag	Description
latest	Well-tested production version of the image.
beta	Development version of the image.

Maintenance

In order to build and publish a new version of the Docker images, open the Actions tab and find the Release Images workflow. You can then run the workflow by providing the following inputs:

• A tag, which will be used to tag the image in DockerHub. Typically beta or latest.
• A version of the apify package that should be pre-installed in the images.
• A version of the puppeteer package that should be pre-installed in the images that use Puppeteer.

Adding a new actor image

To create a new image, which is not yet published in Apify DockerHub organization. You need access to the organization and rights to create a new repository. After, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create a new folder with the same name as the package you want to create without the prefix actor-. For image apify/actor-node, create folder node.

2. Create a source of the image in that folder. Remember to create a test that is runnable using docker run to be able to test in the image in CI/CD.

3. Create a new repository in the Apify DockerHub organization, use the name with actor- prefix, e.g. apify/actor-node.

4. Give permission Read & Write to create image for devs groups in the Apify DockerHub organization.

5. Create a GitHub workflow which builds, tests and publishes the image into the DockerHub.

Testing images locally

You will need the following tools installed: docker, make, jq, git

1. Clone this repository

2. Run make all to test out all images (this will take a long while, be patient).

You can overwrite the node version you build the images for by specifying NODE_VERSION=xx environment variable. You can overwrite the playwright version you build the images for by specifying PLAYWRIGHT_VERSION=vx.x.x- environment variable. You must respect the format of v<full-semver-version>- You can overwrite the puppeteer version you build the images for by specifying PUPPETEER_VERSION=x.x.x environment variable. You must respect the format of <full-semver-version>

1. If you want to run a specific test, call it with make <test name>. Run make what-tests to see what tests are available.
