feat: use standard Docker build Actions, enable builds for ARM architecture #985

Description

Refactor docker-release (aka build and push) workflow to use the standard Docker Github Actions.

What does this Pull Request (PR) do?

This adds the following features:

Builds for both AMD64 and ARM64 (other architectures can be enabled if required).
Automatic tagging and labelling (including 'latest').

How should this be manually tested?

I don't have access to your Docker hub credentials so wasn't able to test I could publish as your user, just check it does successfully publish with your creds the first time (but it should be fine!).

Any background context you can provide?

I went to run the nerd-fonts patcher and found the provided container image was only built for AMD64, many modern computers are ARM64 hence this PR.

Thank you for this nice PR.

First I had a deja vu feeling, but that was #882 (comment)

I will just pull as is, and see if the docker is still working on my machine (i.e. amd64).

.github/workflows/docker-release.yml

+        uses: docker/build-push-action@v3
+        with:
+          context: .
+          push: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}


Suggested change

push: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}

push: true

Because the whole workflow is not triggered on pull requests.

I think this is not needed.

[why] Credentials not needed (I guess). Workflow is never run on pull-requests, so no check needed. Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

Had a small problem that meta tags it as master but we always tagged as latest.
Solved with 1322285

Tried patching with the docker on amd64 and it works.

@sammcj Can you confirm arm64 please?

(Interestingly the image size did not really increase.)

Finii · 2022-10-28T10:06:36Z

Hmm, looking here, I see only amd64 and no arm64 ?

@sammcj Any ideas? I am a docker noob.

sammcj · 2022-10-28T12:44:01Z

Hey sorry just saw this it's midnight here but I'll fork the repo, create a docker hub account and test it out using my own token. Feel free to temporarily revert if it's causing any issues!

Finii · 2022-10-28T17:26:03Z

Ah, I managed to create the arm thing 🎉

via commit
df58a78 CI: Entice docker to create arm64 container [skip ci]

But maybe you can try to patch a font with that. And report which fontforge version it has?

sammcj · 2022-10-29T02:40:19Z

ooohhhh I didn't release it needed the platform there as well! Good spotting and thanks!

I'll be testing it out shortly.

sammcj · 2022-10-29T03:16:06Z

Seems to work fine, only error is about iconv encoding - but that won't be ARM build related.

I've run the patched fonts through font book and they validated without issue.

Ah, we base the docker on Alpine iirc, and they use musl's iconv instead of glibc's. And that indeed has no Mac encoding:
