Currently we rely on ghcr.io for image publication. While the registry itself is configurable, used credentails are not. It would be nice to either:

• Provide same level of configuration for credentials
• Provide a registry matrix and publish into multiple registries simultaneously.

Setup job is defined multiple times in our CI. It's a duplicity that can be refactored out as a shared workflow or as a custom composite action:

Nodejs v16 active support ended a month ago and Backstage now requires v18, which the supported LTS now. We should migrate to ubi[8,9]/nodejs-18 based image.

This issue is now blocked (with potential workaround) by UBI based nodejs v18 images not being available without authentication. Nodejs v16 was available without auth, so this is a behavioral change on UBI side.

Is it possible to add plugins by extending the prebuilt container, or will I need to build my own custom container image and extend the build scripts here?

When creating an image on Openshift, the following error is displayed. The name may need to be updated to "backstage:[tag]"

Error message:
The BuildConfig "backstage" is invalid: spec.output.to.name: Invalid value: "backstage": ImageStreamTag object references must be in the form [name]:[tag]

spec:
output:
to:
kind: ImageStreamTag
name: backstage => "backstage:[tag]"
