gorelease_ex

Statuses

TLDR

The gorelease_ex project is an example repo that demonstrates tying several technologies and concepts together, mainly:

• goreleaser
• Docker container packaging
• GitHub Actions + Workflows
• Brew packaging
• Releasing and lifecycle management around:
  • ghcr.io
  • hub.docker.com

Background

This repo is a WIP to build out goreleaser + GitHub Actions/Workflows which will accomplish the following things:

• Make use of goreleaser to build artifacts - here
• Build, package, & release Go applications using GitHub's Release tab on this repo
• Build Docker containers using GitHub's Container Registry (ghcr.io) & DockerHub (hub.docker.com)
• Build an installable Brew TAP and add binaries to it
• Demonstrate how to do all this using just goreleaser + GitHub workflows + actions
• Build out a janitor GitHub workflow that'll "reap" old artifacts and containers from ghrc.io & hub.docker.com
