push-to-registry

Push-to-registry is a GitHub Action for pushing a container image to an image registry, such as Dockerhub, Quay.io, the GitHub Container Registry, or an OpenShift integrated registry.

This action only runs on Linux, as it uses podman to perform the push. GitHub's Ubuntu action runners come with Podman preinstalled. If you are not using those runners, you must first install Podman.

Action Inputs

Input	Required	Description
image	Yes	Name of the image you want to push.
tag	No	Image tag to push. Defaults to latest.
registry	Yes	URL of the registry to push the image to. Eg. quay.io/<username>
username	Yes	Username with which to authenticate to the registry.
password	Yes	Password, encrypted password, or access token with which to authenticate to the registry.
tls-verify	No	Verify TLS certificates when contacting the registry. Set to "false" to skip certificate verification.

Action Outputs

This action produces one output which can be referenced in other workflow steps.

registry-path: The registry path to which the image was pushed.
For example, quay.io/username/spring-image:v1.

Examples

The example below shows how the push-to-registry action can be used to push an image created by the buildah-build action.

name: Build and Push Image
on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build and push image
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      IMAGE_NAME: my-app
      IMAGE_TAG: latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Build Image
      uses: redhat-actions/buildah-build@v1
      with:
        image: ${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
        tag: ${{ env.TAG }}
        dockerfiles: |
          ./Dockerfile

    - name: Push To Quay
      id: push-to-quay
      uses: redhat-actions/push-to-registry@v1
      with:
        image: ${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
        tag: ${{ env.TAG }}
        registry: ${{ secrets.QUAY_REPO }}
        username: ${{ secrets.QUAY_USERNAME }}
        password: ${{ secrets.QUAY_TOKEN }}

    - name: Use the image
      run: echo "New image has been pushed to ${{ steps.push-to-quay.outputs.registry-path }}"

Troubleshooting

Note that quay.io repositories are private by default.

This means that if you push an image for the first time, you will have to authenticate before pulling it, or go to the repository's settings and change its visibility.
