docker-ship

Build, tag and push docker images in one command.

The example above is equal to running the following docker-commands:

$ docker build -t jmyrland/test .
$ docker tag 9392f4f2e09c jmyrland/test:1.0.0
$ docker push jmyrland/test:1.0.0
$ docker push jmyrland/test:latest

Installation:

npm i -g docker-ship-cli

Usage:

docker-ship [imageName] [nextVersion]

Positionals:
  nextVersion  version to deploy (prompted if missing)                  [string]
  imageName    docker image name (prompted if missing)                  [string]

Options:
  --update-pkg, -u  Update the version in package.json                 [boolean]
  --version         Show version number                                [boolean]
  --help            Show help                                          [boolean]

Executing docker-ship with the same parameters, with only the nextVersion changing can be tedious. You can add default values to a package.json file to avoid this.

When executing docker-ship in a folder with the following package.json file, both version and dockerRepository will be read as parameters.

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dockerRepository": "jmyrland/test"
}

• version is treated as the current version of the docker image, and will be used to ensure that the next version is newer. It will also be used to suggest a new version (when prompted).
• dockerRepository is treated as the imageName.

Custom pre build and post push actions

You can add custom tailored pre-build and post-push actions by adding a docker-ship-module to your project.

The docker-ship-module is just a simple nodejs module, and looks like this in its simplest form:

module.exports = {
  handlePreBuild: async ({ inquirer, spinner }, args) => { },
  handlePostPush: async ({ inquirer, spinner }, args) => { }
}

These handlers are invoked in the docker-ship/deployment lifecycle as advertised. In addition to the args (imageName, nextVersion, etc.), these handlers are also given a reference to inquirer and an ora spinner instance - in case you want to "inquire" input or display a nice spinner if you are doing some heavy lifting.

Take a look at a simple example of a docker-ship-module.

Use cases for these actions:

• Clean up / build project before building the docker image is built.
• After push, remote in to a server and pull the latest image (or the specific version)
• After push, broadcast a notification to your team's chat service
