How freundebuch releases reach this feed
Until today freundebuch had no releases: every merge to
mainupdated the:mainimage, and if you ran it you got whatever was newest. Now there are versioned releases, and each one shows up here on its own. The first, 0.1.0, is the note just below this one.What happens on a release
I push a tag such as
v0.2.0. GitHub Actions runs the same pipeline as onmain: lint, typecheck, the unit tests, the Playwright tests and a smoke test that starts the container and waits for it to report healthy, while it builds the image for amd64 and arm64. Only when all of that passes:- The image gets its version:
ghcr.io/marceltov/freundebuch:0.2.0,:0.2and:latest. A pre-release likev0.2.0-rc.1only gets its own tag, solatestnever points at one. - A GitHub release is made, with GitHub's generated list of the pull requests merged since the previous tag and a
docker pullline. - The same notes are posted here, tagged
releaseand with the version, plus a link to the GitHub release.

A re-run doesn't post twice: it first asks notefeed whether a note with that version tag is already there.
Pinning a version
To upgrade only when you choose, pin a version in your
compose.yaml:services: freundebuch: image: ghcr.io/marceltov/freundebuch:0.1:mainstays as it is, for everyone who wants every merge.Good to know
The first release has no earlier tag to count from, so its notes list every pull request since the start (26 of them). From 0.2.0 on, each release lists only what's new. The notes are PR titles, which are written for me more than for you; I'll post a note in my own words alongside the bigger releases, like the two earlier ones on this feed.
The workflow is in
.github/workflows/ci.yml. This feed has RSS at https://notefeed.me/r/freundebuch/feed.xml. If something about the release notes doesn't work for you, tell me.- The image gets its version:
