In this blog post we are going to show how to build and publish container images using
the oci-build task
and registry-image resource. This post assumes you understand
how to build container images with Dockerfile's and publish to Docker Hub or another image
registry using the docker cli.
First off: sorry, I immediately failed to keep my target pace for these. ๐ I got wrapped up in a deadline, and since I alternate weeks between engineering and community duties like this post, when I miss a week for RFC updates the 2-week interval can quickly turn into 4 or 5.
Understanding how task inputs and outputs work in Concourse can be a little confusing initially. This post will walk you through a few example pipelines to show you how inputs and outputs work within a single Concourse job. By the end you should understand how inputs and outputs work within the context of a single job.
A little over a month ago, the Concourse team sent a survey out to the community. The purpose of this survey was to gain insight into our users as well as measure our year-over-year growth. In the process of learning about how you all deploy and manage Concourse, we also received tons of great feedback about what's working well and what needs work in order to make Concourse even better. Weโre excited to share our findings!
In March 2020, countless companies made a shift to have their employees work from home. For remote staff getting work done can be challenging enough, but staying connected to your team and company culture can be even more challenging. On the Concourse team, weโre working hard to keep our product development running smoothly with some additions to our tech stack and day to day workflow.
