Managing Software Versions

Base Image

Generally Dependabot does this, but the following command will return the digest:

docker pull --platform linux/amd64 ghcr.io/ministryofjustice/analytical-platform-cloud-development-environment-base:$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/ministryofjustice/analytical-platform-cloud-development-environment-base/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name)

docker image inspect --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' ghcr.io/ministryofjustice/analytical-platform-cloud-development-environment-base:$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/ministryofjustice/analytical-platform-cloud-development-environment-base/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name)

Visual Studio Code

Releases for Visual Studio Code are published on GitHub, but we specifically want the Debian package version, to obtain this you can run the following:

curl --silent https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code/pool/main/c/code/ | grep $(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/vscode/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name) | grep amd64

This will return a string like:

<a href="code_1.86.2-1707854558_amd64.deb">code_1.86.2-1707854558_amd64.deb</a> ...

From that, we want 1.86.2-1707854558.
