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"]

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
.
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 |

*First occurrence of

**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.

Render date by its moment format |
You can find more examples in the CI workflow.
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
