This is a GitLab CI configuration to build the project as a docker image

# This is a GitLab CI configuration to build the project as a docker image
# The file is generic enough to be dropped in a project containing a working Dockerfile

# do not use "latest" here, if you want this to work in the future
image: docker:20

stages:
  - build
  - push

variables:
  # fill those if you have a proxy in your environment
  http_proxy: ""
  https_proxy: ""
  no_proxy: ""

# Use this if your GitLab runner does not use socket binding
# services:
#   - docker:dind

before_script:
  # docker login asks for the password to be passed through stdin for security
  # we use $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD here which is a special variable provided by GitLab
  # https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html
  - echo -n $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD | docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER --password-stdin $CI_REGISTRY

Build:
  stage: build
  script:
    # fetches the latest image (not failing if image is not found)
    - docker pull $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest || true
    # builds the project, passing proxy variables, using OCI labels
    # notice the cache-from, which is going to use the image we just pulled locally
    # the built image is tagged locally with the commit SHA, and then pushed to 
    # the GitLab registry

  only:
    # Only "master" should be tagged "latest"
    - master
  script:
    # Because we have no guarantee that this job will be picked up by the same runner 
    # that built the image in the previous step, we pull it again locally
    - docker pull $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
    # Then we tag it "latest"
    - docker tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest
    # Annnd we push it.
    - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest

# Finally, the goal here is to Docker tag any Git tag
# GitLab will start a new pipeline everytime a Git tag is created, which is pretty awesome
Push tag:
  variables:
    # Again, we do not need the source code here. Just playing with Docker.
