Thank you for the PR! Will review in near future
I'm thinking about declining the PR.
The Dockerfile is used in context of testing the action within CI/CD. The image will never be in production, but be gone after testing.
There're a few docker optimizations still in place, from a time where this action shipped the image to production. This isn't the case anymore, so the optimizations could also be removed in future.
As the image isn't shipped, the size of the image isn't relevant at all.
Security findings and speed would be an improvement for the release process.
Nevertheless the changes add more complexity to the build process of the image.
I have to check the speed improvement this would add.
Where did you get the security findings that you had been writing about?
It's used in release.yml, 168 findings today, too many packages installed and too rarely updated (Docker shows 8 months old jammy-20230816).
docker pull vuln ghcr.io/elgohr/publish-docker-github-action/publish-docker-github-action
trivy image --scanners vuln ghcr.io/elgohr/publish-docker-github-action/publish-docker-github-action
Alright I totally got that for production related images. For testing images these findings seem odd.
I measured it multiple times - the image builds at my machine in around 1:15 min. Main tends to be a little quicker (1:10 - 1:15 min). Ironically the PR seems to be slower (1:15-1:20 min). So this is no reason.
In addition the screenshot of the vulnerabilities shows an image that was created 8 month ago (see top of screenshot). In this way an 8 month old jammy is no surprise.
I'm really happy that you tried to improve the action! Nevertheless I'm going to reject the PR as I'm not seeing the desired improvement - sorry! Next time please start with an issue, so we don't come to the point to throw away time/code again.
Image builds faster and smaller, fixed some Dockerfile warnings and 166 security findings 😅 Please double-check if everything is still working as expected (I removed
docker-compose
) and release a new image.Consider rebuilding the image automatically with something like https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-action and migrating to alpine, should be smaller and have less dependencies (
docker
also installs engine, cli and buildx). https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=docker*&branch=v3.19&repo=community&arch=x86_64
