Update
Containers contain an os that requires frequent security updates. Because containers cannot be updated permanently easily each container should be rebuilt every 24h.
Getting started
GitLab CI
Add the following to your .gitlab-ci.yml
include:
- project: "abfelbaum/ci"
file: "containers/update.yml"
Scheduled Pipeline
Please follow the official documentation to create a pipeline schedule.
My recommendation for an interval is every day but every week should be okay too when you don"t want to waste resources.
Configuration
The ci configuration depends on various templates that all have their own configuration. Please have a short look at them in case they need any configuration for your use case.
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
| containers update latest | Template |
| containers update legacy | Template |
What it does
When a scheduled pipeline is triggered a script creates a pipeline for every stable versioned git tag in the project.
Rules can be used to easily configure tag jobs to be- or not be run on scheduled pipelines.
