Apify base Docker images

Public Docker images for Apify Actor serverless platform (https://docs.apify.com/actor)

The sources for the images are present in subdirectories that are named as the corresponding Docker image. For example, the node-basic directory corresponds to the apify/actor-node-basic Docker image.

The images are using the following tags:

Tag	Description
latest	Well-tested production version of the image.
beta	Development version of the image.

Maintenance

In order to build and publish a new version of the Docker images, open the Actions tab and find the Release Images workflow. You can then run the workflow by providing the following inputs:

• A tag, which will be used to tag the image in DockerHub. Typically beta or latest.
• A version of the apify package that should be pre-installed in the images.
• A version of the puppeteer package that should be pre-installed in the images that use Puppeteer.

Adding a new actor image

To create a new image, which is not yet published in Apify DockerHub organization. You need access to the organization and rights to create a new repository. After, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create a new folder with the same name as the package you want to create without the prefix actor-. For image apify/actor-node, create folder node.

2. Create a source of the image in that folder. Remember to create a test that is runnable using docker run to be able to test in the image in CI/CD.

3. Create a new repository in the Apify DockerHub organization, use the name with actor- prefix, e.g. apify/actor-node.

4. Give permission Read & Write to create image for devs groups in the Apify DockerHub organization.

5. Create a GitHub workflow which builds, tests and publishes the image into the DockerHub.
