Automated generation of new Dockerfiles and images about swift-docker HOT 8 CLOSED

It's OK to automatically generate a new image whenever a new Swift version is released.

I am just not sure about the Swift development releases generated from a development branch like swift-4.2-branch. These are generated by Swift CI almost every day.

Any tutorials on how to do this ?

no tutorials... i think a while ago we figured that we could get some sort of notification from swift build releases...i think ppl on swift mailing list liked the idea, but i don't think we got a follow up on it

We should get this going :)

Docker’s guidelines for official images advise against creating images from CI builds:

Unlike a release candidate, continuous integration builds which have a fully automated release cycle based on code commits or a regular schedule are not appropriate.

Nevertheless, it’d be great to test current development snapshots of a specific version branch, e.g. Swift 4.2. Maybe these builds could be considered “release candidates”.

Can someone check this with the official images maintainers?

FYI, my repository(norionomura/swift) has been automated for Dockerfile update and image creation by using CircleCI 's scheduled workflow.

@florianreinhart If I understand that document correctly, regular schedules aren't appropriate. How about some sort of automated script that checks whether a new version was released (not new commits, but full-fledged releases) and builds a new docker image?

@swizzlr We are moving Swift Docker issues to https://bugs.swift.org Component: Docker. Can you please file your issue on bugs.swift.org?

We are planning on closing GitHub swift-docker issues on Dec 20th, 2018 (PST).
