Container Image Artifact Upload

Github action for uploading container image artifacts. It leverages github action's artifact in the background to share docker image across jobs. The artifact created by each run of this action will be visible in the list of artifacts for the workflow and is prefixed with action_image_artifact_. For eg. docker image foo:latest will be uploaded as action_image_artifact_foo_latest.

    - name: Checkout project
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Build image
      run: |
        docker build -t test_image:latest -<<EOF
        FROM busybox
        RUN touch abc.txt
        EOF

    - name: Upload image
      uses: ishworkh/container-image-artifact-upload@v2.0.0
      with:
        image: "test_image:latest"

Using podman engine,

...
jobs:
  build_and_upload:
    - name: Checkout project
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Build image
      run: |
        docker build -t test_image:latest -<<EOF
        FROM busybox
        RUN touch abc.txt
        EOF

    - name: Upload image
      uses: ishworkh/container-image-artifact-upload@v2.0.0
      with:
        image: "test_image:latest"
        container_engine: "podman"

With rentention_days,

...
jobs:
  build_and_upload:
    - name: Checkout project
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Build image
      run: |
        docker build -t test_image:latest -<<EOF

      with:
        image: "test_image:latest"
        retention_days: "2"

In conjuction with docker/build-push-action@v2 buildx builds,

jobs:
  build_and_upload:
    - name: Checkout project
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Set up Docker Buildx
      id: buildx
      uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
  
    - name: Build and push
      id: docker_build
      uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
      with:
        push: false
        builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
        tags: "test_image:latest"
        load: true
