Docker.yml checks for releavant file changes and re-builds required images Currently images have a dependancy chain of ros -> python -> dev (in the future this might be a tree and can fork)
On top of the dev image then tests are run. Dev image is also what developers use in their own IDE via devcontainers https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers
create personal access token (classic, not fine grained) https://github.com/settings/tokens
add permissions
-
read:packages scope to download container images and read their metadata.
and optionally,
-
write:packages scope to download and upload container images and read and write their metadata.
-
delete:packages scope to delete container images.
login to docker via
sh echo TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u GITHUB_USER --password-stdin
pull dev image (dev branch)
sh docker pull ghcr.io/dimensionalos/dev:dev
pull dev image (master)
sh docker pull ghcr.io/dimensionalos/dev:latest
Currently there is an issue with ensuring both correct docker image build ordering, and skipping unneccessary re-builds.
(we need job dependancies for builds to wait to their images underneath to be built (for example py waits for ros)) by default if a parent is skipped, it's children get skipped as well, unless they have always() in their conditional.
Issue is once we put always() in the conditional, it seems that no matter what other check we put in the same conditional, job will always run. for this reason we cannot skip python (and above) builds for now. Needs review.
I think we will need to write our own build dispatcher in python that calls github workflows that build images.
