How to use Kaniko and JFrog with GitHub Actions

 
  • Jan 16, 2024

Introduction

In this article, we will explore the use of Kaniko and JFrog with GitHub Actions to build and push a Docker image to JFrog Artifactory. This solution addressed issues I encountered while working on a project in my company. I hope it proves useful for you as well.

Prerequisites

You must have:

  • GitHub project with Dockerfile
  • JFrog Artifactory account with created docker repository

Assumptions

Your artifactory repository is called docker-local and you have created a user with username docker and password(api token) docker-password. Full path is https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/docker-images and you want to build and push image with name my-image:latest.

Configuration

I use kaniko action to build and push image to JFrog Artifactory.

Example Github action job file:

  name: Build and push Docker image to JFrog Artifactory
  jobs:
  container-test-job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Kaniko build
        uses: aevea/action-kaniko@master
        with:
          image: docker-images/my-image
          registry: artifactory.example.com
          username: "docker"
          password: "docker-password"
          tag: latest
          path: Dockerfile
      - run: docker images ls

you can alternatively use docker build command:

  name: Build and push Docker image to JFrog Artifactory
  jobs:
  container-test-job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: docker build
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
        with:
          push: false
          tags: my-image:latest
          file: Dockerfile
      - name: Login to DevHub Docker Hub
        uses: docker/login-action@v3
        with:
          registry: "artifactory.example.com"
          username: "docker"
          password: "docker-password"
      - run: docker image ls
      - run: docker tag my-image:latest artifactory.example.com/docker-images/my-image:latest
      - run: docker push artifactory.example.com/docker-images/my-image:latest
