Use the ArgoCD image updater

We already have software agents in GitOps ecosystem that modify the state in git. Ie, the image updater in ArgoCD. It watches the docker registry. When it sees a new image, it updates git on a user's behalf.

If you are using ArgoCD you might be able to use this: https://argocd-image-updater.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

I just found this in my travels, I have only gone so far as reading the introduction but seems to be a fit? https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater

I've used Keel and more recently ArgoCD Image Updater (Using ArgoCD to manage deployments).

Use the image updater

To answer your question you should promote docker images between environments. There are many ways to do this. Check https://argocd-image-updater.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ if you haven't seen it already.

For ArgoCD there’s argocd-image-updated, https://argocd-image-updater.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

GitHub Actions is a feature-rich CI/CD platform embedded within GitHub, enabling developers to automate, customize, and execute software development workflows directly in their repositories. An Action inside GitHub Actions is a discrete unit of automation that performs a specific task within a workflow. All the Actions are reusable, and there are many to choose from. You can even create your own reusable ones.

The real power of using PHP code-quality tools is when it’s added to your continuous integration process, which means it automatically checks the code every time someone makes a push or pull request to your project repo. In this section, we'll be looking at how to do just that. GitHub actions is available for free so we'll use it for demo purposes. Note that there are some limits to private repos, so set your test repo to public if you can.

You can even automate the running of this script — hence the directory name automation — to happen every time the data changes, using GitHub Actions.

You might remember that I’ve been taking an interest in GitHub Actions for the last year or so (I even wrote a book on the subject). And at the Perl Conference in Toronto last summer I gave a talk called “GitHub Actions for Perl Development” (here are the slides and the video).

Preevy is designed to be easily run in CI/CD workflows, such as GH Actions, Circle CI and others.

I set out to add further development and contribution tools to my ez-txt2html converter. Specifically, I wanted to introduce an initial Continuous Integration workflow. For this, I used the “Python Application” workflow template in Github Actions to create a CI testing workflow that builds a Py v3.12 environments, builds the project dependencies, runs Flake8 linting and Black formatting and then subsequently runs PyTest using the test suites I’ve written previously.

GitHub Actions

To start, I turned to the starter-workflows repository, a valuable resource housing diverse YAML files for various project types. My project being in .NET, I checked out the dotnet.yml file to get insights into the setup process. Understanding the YAML syntax and keywords like on, push, jobs, and steps is crucial for crafting an effective workflow. In my case, I wanted to the workflow to trigger "on" any "pushes" on the main branch. The job describes the specific task which can be given a name, and steps outline the necessary steps to run the job.
