Purpose

When I fork the project to make improvements, I want to be able to deploy it to my VPS for testing. I want an image built in a reproducible way. However, the current docker-hub.yml is hardcoded to push to Docker Hub under lasuite registry.

This PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and pushes Docker images to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) trigger. This enables forked repositories to build their own images for testing without requiring Docker Hub credentials or having to configure any credentials at all.

I created this workflow while fixing #1788 (submitted as PR #1850). To verify it works, I ran the workflow on my fork:

This generates the images in my account:

Now I can test it on my VPS by pointing my Docker Compose to my built image:

Proposal

  • Create .github/workflows/ghcr.yml with workflow_dispatch trigger, based on existing docker-hub.yml
  • Only runs on forked repos. It will not run on the source suitenumerique/docs repo.
  • Build backend, frontend, and y-provider images
  • Push to ghcr.io/{owner}/{repo}/{service}
  • Support both manual triggers and pushes to main/tags
  • Include proper metadata tagging (branch, semver, SHA)

Notes:

  • This workflow is independent of the existing Docker Hub workflow
  • Both workflows can coexist and serve different purposes
  • GHCR is free for public repositories

Add workflow_dispatch-triggered workflow that builds and pushes images
to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io). This allows forked repositories
to build their own images for testing without requiring Docker Hub
credentials.

Images are tagged with branch names, semver tags, and commit SHA for
easy testing of specific builds.
