Github action to build docker images on branch pushs and on tags

[gissehel]

Closes: #6

What are the changes and their implications?

• A new github action has been created to build new docker image and upload them to the github container registry (ghcr.io).
• On each push on branch, a new docker image is created labeled with both the git revision (ex: 4f8daa1b02) and the branch name (ex: canary, master)
• On each tag, a new docker image is created labeled with tag name (ex: v13.0.1) and with "latest"
  • Simple commit without tag will never impact latest tag. Only tags will impact it.
• In the about box of the application running in the docker image, a new information will be prompted along side the version.
  • If the docker image has been generated from a push on a branch, the git revision will be prompt (ex: "Version 13.0.1 (4f8daa1b02)")
  • If the docker image has been generated from a tag, if the @droppy-js/server project version is different from the tag, the tag will be prompt (ex: "Version 0.0.0 (13.0.1)")
  • In all other cases, including dev version and releases not generated by this github action, only the @droppy-js/server project version will be prompt (ex: "Version 13.0.1")

Requierements

Two secrets should be created in order for this github action to work:

• CR_USER : The organisation/user name (ex: droppy-js)
• CR_PAT: A personal access token with write:packages right to create packages on the organisation/user space

Checklist

• [ ] Changes covered by tests (tests added if needed)
• [ ] PR submitted to droppy-js.com for any user facing changes

Thank you so much. This is something I wanted to setup!

I don't see images on https://github.com/orgs/droppy-js/packages I suppose it's because the docker image is "private". By default, docker images are private unless explicitly configured as public. As I suppose it doesn't make sense to keep that image private (while the repo is public) I suppose you want to change the visibility from "Private" to "Public" (in the setting of the image).

Resolved now - cheers!
