# GitHub Action to install and setup [`ko`](https://github.com/google/ko)
[![Build](https://github.com/imjasonh/setup-ko/actions/workflows/use-action.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/imjasonh/setup-ko/actions/workflows/use-action.yaml)
## Example usage
```yaml
name: Publish
on:
push:
branches: ['main']
jobs:
publish:
name: Publish
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/setup-go@v2
with:
go-version: 1.15
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: imjasonh/setup-ko@v0.2
- run: ko publish ./
```
_That's it!_ This workflow will build and publish your code to [GitHub Container Regsitry](https://ghcr.io).
By default, the action sets `KO_DOCKER_REPO=ghcr.io/[owner]/[repo]`.
See [documentation for `ko`](https://github.com/google/ko#configuration) to learn more about configuring `ko`.
### Select `ko` version to install
By default, `imjasonh/setup-ko` installs the latest released version of `ko`.
You can select a version with the `version` parameter:
```yaml
- uses: imjasonh/setup-ko@v0.2
with:
version: v0.8.0
```
To build and install `ko` from source using `go get`, specify `version: tip`.
### Pushing to other registries
By default, `imjasonh/setup-ko` configures `ko` to push images to [GitHub Container Registry](https://ghcr.io), but you can configure it to push to other registries.
To do this, you need to provide credentials to authorize the push.
You can use [encrypted secrets](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets) to store the authorization token, and pass it to `ko login` before pushing:
```
- uses: imjasonh/setup-ko@v0.2
- env:
auth_token: ${{ secrets.auth_token }}
run: |
echo "${auth_token}" | ko login https://my.registry --username my-username --password-stdin
export KO_DOCKER_REPO=my.registry/my-repo
ko publish ./
```
### Release Integration
In addition to publishing images, `ko` can produce YAML files containing references to built images, using [`ko resolve`](https://github.com/google/ko#kubernetes-integration)
With this action, you can use `ko resolve` to produce output YAML that you then attach to a GitHub Release using [actions/create-release](https://github.com/actions/create-release) and [actions/upload-release-asset](https://github.com/actions/upload-release-asset).
For example:
```yaml
name: Publish Release
on:
push:
tags: ['v*']
jobs:
publish-release:
name: Publish Release
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/setup-go@v2
with:
go-version: 1.15
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: imjasonh/setup-ko@v0.2
- run: ko resolve -f config/ > release-${{ github.sha }}.yaml
- name: Create Release
id: create_release
uses: actions/create-release@v1
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
with:
tag_name: ${{ github.ref }}
release_name: Release ${{ github.ref }}
- name: Upload Release Asset
uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
with:
upload_url: ${{ steps.create_release.outputs.upload_url }}
asset_path: ./release-${{ github.sha }}.yaml
asset_name: release-${{ github.sha }}.yaml
asset_content_type: application/x-yaml
```
### A note on versioning
The `@v0.2` in the `uses` statement refers to the version _of the action definition in this repo._
Regardless of what version of the action definition you use, `imjasonh/setup-ko` will install the latest released version of `ko` unless otherwise specified with `version:`.
