refactor: improve GitHub Actions workflow for container image builds#56
Conversation
Major improvements to the container build workflow: - Renamed workflow file from build-image.yaml to build-container-image.yaml for clarity - Switched from docker/build-push-action@v4 to docker/build-push-action@v6 for latest features - Added comprehensive Docker metadata generation using docker/metadata-action@v5 - Automatically generates semantic version tags (e.g., 1.2.3, 1.2, 1) - Creates 'latest' tag for main branch builds - Adds branch name tags for feature branches - Includes SHA-based tags for traceability - Generates proper OCI image labels - Enhanced security with attestation generation for supply chain verification - Improved caching strategy with GitHub Actions cache backend - Better structured workflow with clear separation of concerns These changes provide better versioning, improved security, and more maintainable CI/CD pipeline.
