Docker Builds with GitHub Actions and Artifact Registry (GCP)

[@placideirandora7405]

Thank you for the tutorial. I followed along and was able to deploy my image flawlessly!

[@gourabchakrabortyiiitdharw3754]

I was stuck on this for 1 day... finally this neat tutorial unblocked me. Thank you so much !!

[@manuelsilveriof]

Very well explained. Right to the point, thank you!

Best Tutorial❤❤❤

Amazing work

[@robertmaloney860]

This is an incredible video! Did you plan on a followup about how to get it from artifact registry to the compute instance?

[@nodematic]

Thanks! We have a follow-up video on using the image in Google Kubernetes Engine, but not Compute Engine. We'll try to make a video on the Compute Engine side though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX_ce4qrh62EeqM

Thank you very much

[@facundopellicer7514]

Great explanation! Why not use docker/setup-buildx-action, docker/build-push-action to build and push the image to the gcf artifact?

[@nodematic]

That could work as well, but since the docker commands are very simple (and most people are familiar with the syntax), we decided to go that direction. Either way should be good.

I am a bit lost at 5.26min when you can do 'git add .' in the cloud shell. I created the new repo at github. But when I switch to the cloud shell, i dont see any link connecting to github. The error said fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

[@nodematic]

Make sure you do a "git init" when you are in the right directory, to make your working directory a git repository. Then, you can "git add", push to GitHub, etc..

[@andreawijayakusuma6008]

wait, how about docker cli command, I didn't see the docker install on that pipeline. when I following your code, error docker command not found. btw I using github runner on VM GCP

[@nodematic]

The default ubuntu-latest managed runner on GitHub Actions has docker preinstalled. If you're using a GCP VM runner, you'll need to install docker on that runner before you can successfully execute the workflow. I wouldn't suggest doing the cli installation in the GitHub Actions workflow - either do it manually or with infrastructure automation tools.

@@nodematic btw, if I created 2 YML file on folder .github/workflows/ and I push to Github, did both YML pipeline will be running or not and also it is possible to run only 1 YML pipeline file on that case ?

[@nodematic]

Both pipelines will run. You would need to use the trigger ("on" keyword) system for when to run each and, no, I don't believe there's a way to use the presence of other workflows as a condition for triggering.
