Rebased from the new main branch and updated with tests for the new -t and -o build options.

  • -t 'suffix' allows to set an optional suffix to the docker image tag (but not to latest). For example -t '-next' will create & push a tag-next image instead of tag.
  • -o 'options' will pass custom options to the docker build command. For example -o "--build-args gemfile=Gemfile.next".

Both arguments are require to build alternate images when we dual boot a Ruby on Rails application for example: we can build a regular image build.sh as well as an alternate image using updated dependencies with build.sh -t '-next' -o '--build-arg gemfile=Gemfile.next' and then deploy the version we want.

Also provides a GitHub action, that will install ci-docker-builder and build the docker image with the options we want right from a GHA workflow. For example:

steps:
  - uses: action/checkout@v3
  - uses: manastech/ci-docker-builder@<commit> # NOTE: fix commit
    with:
      tag-suffix: "-next"
      build-options: "--build-arg gemfile=Gemfile.next"

Supersedes #13

The composite action didn't work as expected (the action's
`action.sh` and `build.sh` weren't accessible), so I replaced the
shell script with a tiny JavaScript bootstrap, that will properly
collect the action inputs and generate a simple local build.sh and
calls it.

Note that we couldn't use a Docker container action, because we
couldn't access the host docker ending, and would need to add both
docker cli and docker server to the docker container...

It's been quite a while, but I've just got to review this one.

Generating the script (and running it) looks scary, but I think we're good.

I'm updating some stuff regarding the now-removed latest flag - we're good to merge after that 👍

Woa. Wasn't expecting that.

Don't we need more escaping here? We can discover that along the way, though.

Do you mean that:

  1. someone can sneak something like $SOME_SECRET into build.sh which might be a security issue (but might be legit);
  2. we should quote the params (probably not possible for build-options);

I think it's mostly fear (with no concrete issue spotted) of generating a bash script and executing it.

I'm wondering if the __dirname could be abused to source another script, or somthing like that.

But maybe not think that much about an attacker (it should be trusted people the ones that could configure the Action), but about accidental issues with corner values (a directory name with a whitespace?).

But, once again: it's mostly unfounded fear. I'd say we merge 👍
