[Nishim12]

This pull request updates the deployment workflow and Docker Compose configuration to allow for more flexible versioning and deployment of backend and frontend services. The main improvements are the introduction of customizable version tags for both backend and frontend images, and the ability to skip backend builds during deployment.

Workflow and deployment improvements:

• Renamed the workflow dispatch input from skip_build to skip_backend_build for clarity, and updated all related workflow logic to use the new name. [1] [2]
• Added new workflow dispatch inputs: frontend_version and backend_version, allowing users to specify which tags of the frontend and backend images to deploy. Defaults to 'latest' if not provided.
• Added a new workflow step to dynamically set the backend and frontend Docker image tags in docker-compose.yml based on workflow inputs or the current Git reference.

Configuration changes:

• Updated docker-compose.yml to use the BACKEND_TAG and FRONTEND_TAG environment variables for the backend and frontend image tags, instead of hardcoding 'latest'. [1] [2]… do docker stack deploy

Using sed with variable substitution without proper escaping can lead to command injection if the tag variables contain special characters. Consider using a more secure approach like envsubst or proper shell escaping.

Suggested change

	sed -i "s/\${BACKEND_TAG}/$BACKEND_TAG/g" docker-compose.yml
	sed -i "s/\${FRONTEND_TAG}/$FRONTEND_TAG/g" docker-compose.yml
	export BACKEND_TAG FRONTEND_TAG
	envsubst '${BACKEND_TAG},${FRONTEND_TAG}' < docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml.tmp
	mv docker-compose.yml.tmp docker-compose.yml

The fallback to 'latest' may not work as expected when backend_version is an empty string rather than null. Consider using a more explicit check or defaulting in the workflow input definition.

Suggested change

	BACKEND_TAG="${{ github.event.inputs.backend_version || 'latest' }}"
	BACKEND_TAG="${{ github.event.inputs.backend_version != '' && github.event.inputs.backend_version || 'latest' }}"
