The workflow automatically builds and pushes Docker images for multiple microservices to DockerHub under the ohsonoresearch organization. It supports both individual service builds and batch builds for all services.
The workflow manages the following services:
| Service | Dockerfile | Docker Image |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | Dockerfile.dashboard |
ohsonoresearch/dashboard-service |
| Gateway API | Dockerfile.gateway-api |
ohsonoresearch/gateway-api |
| Model Service | Dockerfile.model-service |
ohsonoresearch/model-service |
| Model Service DistillBERT | Dockerfile.model-service-distillbert |
ohsonoresearch/model-service-distillbert |
| Worker | Dockerfile.worker |
ohsonoresearch/worker-scraper-service |
- Push to branches:
main,develop,test - Git tags: Any tag starting with
v(e.g.,v1.0.0,v2.1.3) - Pull requests: To
mainbranch (builds but doesn't push)
- Workflow Dispatch: Manual execution via GitHub Actions UI or API
Add these secrets to your GitHub repository settings (Settings β Secrets β Actions):
DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=your_dockerhub_username
DOCKERHUB_TOKEN=your_dockerhub_access_token
How to create DockerHub Access Token:
- Go to DockerHub
- Account Settings β Security
- Create new access token with read/write permissions
- Copy the token (you won't see it again)
Ensure your repository has the following structure:
project-root/
βββ .github/
β βββ workflows/
β βββ docker-build.yml
βββ Dockerfile.dashboard
βββ Dockerfile.gateway-api
βββ Dockerfile.model-service
βββ Dockerfile.model-service-distillbert
βββ Dockerfile.worker
βββ [other project files]
# Trigger automatic build for all services
git push origin main- Go to GitHub β Actions tab
- Select "Multi-Service Docker Build and Push"
- Click "Run workflow"
- Select options:
- Branch: Choose target branch
- Service: Select specific service or "all"
- Tag: Custom tag (optional, defaults to "latest")
- Local test: Keep as "false" for production
# Create and push a version tag
git tag v1.2.0
git push origin v1.2.0
# This creates images with multiple tags:
# - ohsonoresearch/[service]:1.2.0
# - ohsonoresearch/[service]:1.2
# - ohsonoresearch/[service]:1
# - ohsonoresearch/[service]:latest# Test individual services

# Test running a service
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 ohsonoresearch/dashboard:testPrerequisites:
# Install act
brew install act # macOS
# or
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nektos/act/master/install.sh | sudo bash # Linux
# Create secrets file
cat > .secrets << EOF
DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=your_username
DOCKERHUB_TOKEN=your_token
EOFTest specific service:
act workflow_dispatch \
--secret-file .secrets \
-P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest \
--input service=dashboard \
--input local_test=trueTest all services:
act workflow_dispatch \
--secret-file .secrets \
-P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest \
--input service=all \
--input local_test=true- Production: Builds for
linux/amd64andlinux/arm64 - Local Testing: Builds only for
linux/amd64for faster execution
- GitHub Actions cache for faster subsequent builds
- Separate cache scope for each service
- Cache reused across workflow runs
- Automatic vulnerability scanning with Trivy
- Results uploaded to GitHub Security tab
- Runs only for production builds (not PRs or local tests)
- Generates cryptographic attestation for supply chain security
- Automatically pushed to registry for production builds
Images are tagged with multiple formats:
Branch builds:
ohsonoresearch/[service]:[branch-name]ohsonoresearch/[service]:sha-[git-sha]
Tag builds (semantic versioning):
ohsonoresearch/[service]:[full-version](e.g.,1.2.3)ohsonoresearch/[service]:[major.minor](e.g.,1.2)ohsonoresearch/[service]:[major](e.g.,1)
Main branch:
ohsonoresearch/[service]:latest
The workflow provides a summary table showing the status of each service build in the GitHub Actions interface.
Problem: Build fails because Dockerfile doesn't exist Solution:
- Check filename matches exactly:
Dockerfile.dashboard,Dockerfile.gateway-api, etc. - Ensure Dockerfiles are in the repository root
- Check the workflow logs for listed available Dockerfiles
Problem: DockerHub login fails Solution:
- Verify GitHub secrets are set correctly
- Regenerate DockerHub access token
- Ensure token has read/write permissions
Problem: Docker tag contains invalid characters Solution: Ensure branch names and tags follow Docker naming conventions (lowercase, alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores only)
Problem: Local testing with act can't find Docker
Solution:
- Use the direct Docker build method instead
- Try using
catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest-dockerimage - Ensure Docker daemon is running locally
# Check Docker build locally
docker build -f Dockerfile.dashboard -t test-image .
# Verify DockerHub access
docker login docker.io
docker push ohsonoresearch/test-image:latest
# Check workflow syntax
act --list
# Dry run workflow
act workflow_dispatch --dry-run --input service=dashboardTo use a different registry, modify the workflow environment variables:
env:
REGISTRY: your-registry.com
IMAGE_ORG: your-organizationTo build for more platforms, modify the workflow:
platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7If your Dockerfiles require different build contexts:
context: ./service-directory
file: ./service-directory/Dockerfile- Never commit DockerHub credentials to the repository
- Use access tokens instead of passwords
- Regularly rotate tokens (recommended: every 90 days)
- Review vulnerability scan results in GitHub Security tab
- Use specific image tags in production, avoid
:latest - Enable Docker Content Trust for production deployments
- Review build logs for warnings
- Check vulnerability scan results
- Update base images in Dockerfiles
- Rotate DockerHub access tokens
- Clean up old Docker images from registry
- Use
.dockerignorefiles to exclude unnecessary files - Multi-stage builds to reduce image size
- Leverage build cache effectively
- Consider using BuildKit for advanced features
For issues with this workflow:
- Check the troubleshooting section above
- Review GitHub Actions logs for detailed error messages
- Test Docker builds locally first
- Check DockerHub for image availability and tags
