Hi,
As you know, WildFly is providing a Docker image for each release of WildFly from the
jboss organization at
https://hub.docker.com/r/jboss/wildfly/tags.
However
hub.docker.com has recently changes their features and we are no longer able to
automate new images whenever we tag our GitHub project at
https://github.com/jboss-dockerfiles/wildfly. This is becoming a manual task that only a
few people in jboss organization can do.
We are trying to find a new way to deliver these images in a sustainable fashion.
One approach would be to move the Docker images to quay.io which provides the basic
features we need to build images from our GitHub repo.
We already have a wildfly organization on Quay.io (that provides our S2I images as well as
the WildFly operator):
https://quay.io/organization/wildfly
This would affect users that pulls our images as they would have to
use
FROM quay.io/wildfly/wildfly
instead of
FROM jboss/wildfly
Internally, there would be no changes: we would continue to build these Docker images from
tags in
https://github.com/jboss-dockerfiles/wildfly
The latest release for our Docker image was the 25.0 tag.
A transition would be:
0. Advertise that we will stop delivering images from
hub.docker.com. At this point, the
jboss/wildfly:latest tag will point to 25.0 and will no longer be in sync with new WildFly
releases.
1. Set up the quay.io/wildfly/wildfly repo and push the 25.0 tag to it.
-> users can switch from "jboss/wildfly” to "quay.io/wildfly/wildfly” without
any impact for their applications
1.a If we eventually release images for 25.0.x versions, we will push images to both
hub.docker and quay.io repositories
2. When we release the next major version of WildFly (WildFly 26), the image will be made
available only from "quay.io/wildfly/wildfly” with the 26.0 and latest tag
Does that approach sounds sensible?
Best regards,
Jeff
