Revise repository to use date-based tags for repository and image releases

[joeltimothyoh]

Based on #5 (comment)

[leojonathanoh]

could try and use something like https://github.com/theohbrothers/docker-alpine/blob/20211012.0.0/.github/workflows/ci-master-pr.yml#L1314-L1401

[leojonathanoh]

The workflow will be git checkout release && git merge --no-ff master && git push and that will be the automated release

[joeltimothyoh]

I'm thinking keep it simple by adding a date tag followed by a push. @leojonathanoh

[leojonathanoh]

i agree and also prefer a simple approach because this repo generally is simple, so manually determining the tag is acceptable.

So it should be a master workflow:

• master: docker builds for each push
• tag: docker build with tag :latest
• pull_requests build but no push.

I believe the rules for building are already taken care of. This issue was opened just so I can get to working on this change asap. I've got other repos based off the same release workflow so it wouldn't take long to sort this one out.

[leojonathanoh]

please give an example of a workflow you have that meets criteria in the link in the OP

[leojonathanoh]

i was thinking, that since this repo is really like theohbrothers/docker-*, where its really just a repo for building variants, it might as well go with the same workflow as all of them.

Unfortunately this is under startersclan and is strictly OSS with community contribution as the priority unlike many of the other image projects.

i'm working on a generic ci workflow config for both calver and semver that should work across all projects.

Unfortunately this is under startersclan and is strictly OSS with community contribution as the priority unlike many of the other image projects.

The theohbrothers/docker-* projects are also strictly open source. the workflow is identical. perhaps for this project there might not be a need for templating because of the few number of variants, but once variants are involved there needs to be some degree of templating.

[leojonathanoh]

Managed to get a generic workflow for semver and calver: theohbrothers/docker-alpine#11

Closing.
