create-ecr-repository-action

This is a GitHub Action to create a repository into Amazon ECR or ECR Public registry if it does not exist. It can put a lifecycle policy to the repository for cost saving and a repository policy for cross account access.

Getting Started

To create a repository:

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      - uses: int128/create-ecr-repository-action@v1
        with:
          repository: hello-world

If the repository exists, this action does nothing.

Put a lifecycle policy

To create a repository with a lifecycle policy:

      - uses: int128/create-ecr-repository-action@v1
        with:
          repository: hello-world
          lifecycle-policy: config/lifecycle-policy.json

If the repository exists, this action just puts the lifecycle policy.

Put a permission policy

To create a repository with a permission policy:

      - uses: int128/create-ecr-repository-action@v1
        with:
          repository: hello-world
          permission-policy: config/permission-policy.json

If the repository exists, this action just puts the permission policy.

Create into ECR Public

To create a repository into ECR Public registry:

      - uses: int128/create-ecr-repository-action@v1
        with:
          repository: hello-world
          public: true

If the repository exists, this action does nothing. Note that currently ECR Public does not support the lifecycle polocy.

Full example

Here is a full example to build an image and put it into an ECR repository:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: self-hosted
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: aws-actions/amazon-ecr-login@v1
      - uses: int128/create-ecr-repository-action@v1
        id: ecr
        with:
          repository: hello-world
      - run: docker build -t ${{ steps.ecr.outputs.repository-uri }}:latest .
      - run: docker push ${{ steps.ecr.outputs.repository-uri }}:latest

Use a release tag such as v1. Do not use main branch because it does not contain dist files.
