  • Run any CLI command — this action allows you to run any CLI command, so that you can compose your own workflows.

Updating the Image Tag of an Application

If you’ve deployed an application from an existing Docker registry, you can update the image tag of an application in your CI/CD file using the Porter CLI.

You can use this Github action. For example:

# ... the rest of your Github action
steps:
  - name: Checkout code
    uses: actions/checkout@v2.3.4
  - name: Set Github tag
    id: vars
    run: echo "::set-output name=sha_short::$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
  - name: Update a Porter application
    timeout-minutes: 20
    uses: porter-dev/porter-cli-action@v0.1.0
    with:
      command: app update-tag APP_NAME --tag ${{ steps.vars.outputs.sha_short }}
    env:
      PORTER_HOST: https://dashboard.getporter.dev
      PORTER_CLUSTER: 1234
      PORTER_PROJECT: 4321
      PORTER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PORTER_TOKEN }}
