[Feature Contribution]: Publish the docker file in a docker registry

[luwangshell]

What happened?

It would be good to publish the docker image to a docker registry (e.g. GitHub Packages) so we could just consume and pass in the version of the sdk.

Right now we have to do something like this:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build-env

RUN wget https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/carbon-aware-sdk/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip

RUN apt-get update && \
  apt-get install unzip && \
  unzip v1.0.0.zip && \
  rm v1.0.0.zip

WORKDIR /carbon-aware-sdk-1.0.0/src
RUN dotnet publish CarbonAware.WebApi/src/CarbonAware.WebApi.csproj -c Release -o publish

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0
WORKDIR /carbon-aware-sdk-1.0.0/src
COPY --from=build-env /carbon-aware-sdk-1.0.0/src/publish .

ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "CarbonAware.WebApi.dll"]

A few things would be a massive improvement in using the library:

• Releasing versions more often. The last version was Oct. 22 and is 1.0.0 and quite out of date
• Making your releases as packages. In the above code I have to wget the 1.0.0 manually because there's no package to install from a repo like docker or npm.
• Publish your DockerFile to a registry so that we can easily consume them. If you did this then I wouldn't need to manually write the above DockerFile to use 1.0.0. I could just pull in your image in my docker-compose and pass the version in I wanted, i.e 1.0.0

Thanks for this great repo though, it's really amazing.

Hi, thank you for those comments and sorry for the delay. We are in the process of making some of those changes, but feel free to create pull request or send links if there is anything missing. (Do you have a link for the scenario to publish registry to a container or what we have in the repo is enough now please?

You already can pull WebAPI container image from GitHub Packages. Is it enough? https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/carbon-aware-sdk/pkgs/container/carbon-aware-sdk

Closing because we use GitHub Packages to publish WebAPI container image.
