Releases¶

Releasing docker images and helm charts¶

Docker images are built and released with a :tool- tag for now. The latest version can be found here:

registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/tamland:tool-latest

We also maintain a Helm chart for Tamland under ./chart and publish charts into this project’s package repository. Releasing a new version of the Helm chart happens automatically from CI.

Non-merged changes¶

For development changes on branches and MRs, we

1. only push a docker image to the registry and
2. tag it with the latest release plus a git SHA, for example 3.26.0-2-gc027698 (essentially git describe --tags).

The docker image is published in the docker:publish job (example).

To test the changes in an operational project, use the published docker image in the respective project.

Official releases¶

Following a Tamland release, we

1. Build and push a docker image tagged with tool-latest and tool-${release_version}, e.g. tool-3.2.26 and
2. push a Helm chart tagged with ${release_version} into the stable channel of the package registry.

Note that version tags are not prefixed with v and follow semantic versioning.
