Release node base image in new Github Actions release workflow

[YOU54F]

I'm a bit confused by the state of play here

There are three Dockerfile(s)

1. Dockerfile here
2. Dockerfile-node-14 here
3. Dockerfile-bundle-base here

Do we just need to release 3?

I fixed the build pipeline, for 1, so it is publishing again

---

1. Dockerfile
   • Workflow is triggered here
   • Run script here
   • base Dockerfile is used here
   • DOCKER_IMAGE_ORG_AND_NAME is set to pactfoundation/pact-cli
   • Dockerhub image is here
2. Dockerfile-node-14

• Does look like Dockerfile-node-14 is built or published
• What should this be published under name-wise

3. Dockerfile-bundle-base

• Built as part of update.sh here
• which is called as part of two github workflows
  • update-and-release
  • update-gems
• What should this be published under name-wise

We used to have an automatic build in Dockerhub. Since we lost the free builds there due to Dockerhub's change in policy, I moved the builds to Github Actions. I migrated the default dockerfile, but never got around to migrating the Dockerfile-node-14 one. The tags are the same with -node14 on the end https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/pactfoundation/pact-cli/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated&name=node

Dockerfile-bundle-base is only used in the update process. It is not published anywhere.

I did the work on the image to update it, but I'm not sure how much use it is going to be to pact-js (node users)

current guidance is don't use alpine

https://docs.pact.io/docker#alpine-linux

We release a musl artefact for the pact ffi, its a static lib .a and I've not found a way to load it in alpine yet,

https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/releases/tag/libpact_ffi-v0.4.4

I've unofficially been building additional pact ffi targets

https://github.com/YOU54F/pact-reference/blob/multi_arch/COMPATIBILITY.md

and got .so's built for alpine, and tested with ruby in alpine, just for the lolz (it works 🚀 )

Would need client libs that use the pact_ffi to detect the user is on linux, but also a musl(er) distro. I think ruby has detection for that, as it supports musl platforms
