[Question] Release docker image to GHCR

[ToshY]

Hello 👋

Is it possible to release the docker image to the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) as well? Reason for asking: Docker Hub rate limits

Thanks in advance.

Sure it's possible, provided one can tell me how to integrate it in this step.

With the current docker/build-push-action and without changing much of your current implementation, I think the easiest way would be like this example: https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/push-multi-registries/

In short, an additional login with docker/login-action@v3 and add ghcr.io/mlocati/php-extension-installer to the tags of the docker/build-push-action. (sidenote: you do not have to add additional secrets for this, the GITHUB_TOKEN secret is already available in the workflow)

I can create the PR if you'd like.

Done, thanks for the link!

Now the most important question (I'm kidding, of course😉): do you know if a badge like this is available for pulls from the GitHub Container Registry?

Sadly doesn't seem an "easy" one that you can use like that one (also see https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/5594). Haven't test it myself, but there's one that includes "downloads", so you might be able to try to use https://github.com/ipitio/backage.

For other (non-downloads) badges, maybe this: https://github.com/eggplants/ghcr-badge

Thanks for adding it to GHCR 👍

I ended up creating https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-ghcr-badge.yml

Hmm... If I understand correctly this will update your README with a new badge every day. While I find the approach interesting, will this not clutter your git history with Update GitHub Registry badge commits?

[mlocati]

That action doesn't update the readme, just this branch: https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/tree/assets

Oh I misunderstood then, thanks for clarifying. 👍
