Woodpecker CI plugin to build multiarch Docker images with buildx. This plugin is a fork of [thegeeklab/drone-docker-buildx](https://github.com/thegeeklab/drone-docker-buildx/) which itself is a fork of [drone-plugins/drone-docker](https://github.com/drone-plugins/drone-docker).

## Features

- Build without push
- Use custom registries
- Build based on existing tags when needed
- Push to multiple registries/repos

It will automatically generate buildkit configuration to use custom CA certificate if following conditions are met:

- Setting `buildkit_config` is not set
- Custom `registry`/`logins` value is provided
- File exists `/etc/docker/certs.d/<registry-value>/ca.crt`

> NB! To mount custom CA you can use Woodpecker CI runner configuration environment `WOODPECKER_BACKEND_DOCKER_VOLUMES` with value `/etc/ssl/certs:/etc/ssl/certs:ro,/etc/docker/certs.d:/etc/docker/certs.d:ro`. And have created file `/etc/docker/certs.d/<registry-value>/ca.crt` with CA certificate on runner server host.

## Settings

| Settings Name             | Default           | Description
| --------------------------| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------
| `dry-run`                 | `false`           | disables docker push
| `repo`                    | *none*            | sets repository name for the image (can be a list)
| `username`                | *none*            | sets username to authenticates with
| `password`                | *none*            | sets password / token to authenticates with
| `email`                   | *none*            | sets email address to authenticates with
| `registry`                | `https://index.docker.io/v1/` | sets docker registry to authenticate with
| `dockerfile`              | `Dockerfile`      | sets dockerfile to use for the image build
| `tag`/`tags`              | *none*            | sets repository tags to use for the image
| `platforms`               | *none*            | sets target platform for build

## auto_tag

If set to true, it will use the `default_tag` ("latest") on tag event or default branch.
If it's a tag event it will also assume sem versioning and add tags accordingly (`x`, `x.x` and `x.x.x`).
If it's not a tag event, and no default branch, automated tags are skipped.

## Examples

```yaml
  publish-next-agent:
    image: woodpeckerci/plugin-docker-buildx
    secrets: [docker_username, docker_password]
    settings:
      repo: woodpeckerci/woodpecker-agent
      dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile.agent.multiarch
      platforms: windows/amd64,darwin/amd64,darwin/arm64,freebsd/amd64,linux/amd64,linux/arm64/v8
      tag: next
    when:
      branch: ${CI_REPO_DEFAULT_BRANCH}
      event: push
```

```yaml
  publish:
    image: woodpeckerci/plugin-docker-buildx
    settings:
      platforms: linux/386,linux/amd64,linux/arm/v6,linux/arm64/v8,linux/ppc64le,linux/riscv64,linux/s390x
      repo: codeberg.org/${CI_REPO_OWNER}/hello
      registry: codeberg.org
      tags: latest
      username: ${CI_REPO_OWNER}
      password:
        from_secret: cb_token
```

```yaml
  docker-build:
    image: woodpeckerci/plugin-docker-buildx
    settings:
      repo: codeberg.org/${CI_REPO_OWNER}/hello
      registry: codeberg.org
      dry_run: true
      output: type=oci,dest=${CI_REPO_OWNER}-hello.tar
```

## Multi registry push example

Only supported with `woodpecker >= 1.0.0` (next-da997fa3).

        from_secret: docker_token
    - registry: https://codeberg.org
