+# Demo for building Umbraco Docker images, and publishing to Github's Container Registry
+
+
+A demo showing how to build Umbraco v13 in Docker with Github Actions, and then push the created Docker Image to a Github Packages registry.  The package created by this repo can be found at [https://github.com/liamlaverty/umbraco-docker-container-in-github-package-registry/pkgs/container/container-reg-test](https://github.com/liamlaverty/umbraco-docker-container-in-github-package-registry/pkgs/container/container-reg-test).
+
+## Install Umbraco using the dotnet CLI
+
+A step-by-step guide to install Umbraco using the Dotnet CLI is below. Replace `ContainerRegistryTest` with your intended Umbraco project name. 
+See the official [Umbraco documentation for guidance on installing Umbraco](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/setup/install/install-umbraco-with-templates) for further details, or other installation techniques.
+
+### Commands in short
+
+Enter the commands below to quick-install the Umbraco project, details are outlined in [Detailed installation](#detailed-installation) section
+
+```bash
+dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates
+dotnet new umbraco -n ContainerRegistryTest
+dotnet new sln
+dotnet sln add ContainerRegistryTest
+dotnet build ./ContainerRegistryTest/
+dotnet run ./ContainerRegistryTest/
+```
+
+### Detailed installation
+
+A more detailed overview of the Umbraco installation
+
+- Install Umbraco's project templates by running `dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates`
+- Run `dotnet new umbraco -n ContainerRegistryTest` to create an empty Umbraco Project
+- Optionally run `dotnet new sln` to create a dotnet `sln` solution file
+- Optionally run `dotnet sln add ContainerRegistryTest` to add your `ContainerRegistryTest` project to your new `sln`
+- build the application with `dotnet build ./ContainerRegistryTest/`
+- run the application with `dotnet run ./ContainerRegistryTest/`
+
+
+## Create `.dockerignore`
+
+Create a file named `.dockerignore` inside of the Umbraco Project at the path `./ContainerRegistryTest/.dockerignore`. Take care to put this into the Umbraco project, rather than the top-level solution folder. 
+
+Add the following lines to exclude the bin and obj folders from the resulting Docker Image
+
+```bash
+**/bin/
+**/obj/
+```
+
+## Create the Dockerfile
+
+Create a file in the top-level directory named `Dockerfile` - the file has no extension. Add the following code:
+
+```dockerfile
+# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
+
+FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 as build-env
+WORKDIR /src
+COPY ["ContainerRegistryTest/ContainerRegistryTest.csproj", "."]
+
+RUN dotnet restore
+COPY . .
+RUN dotnet publish ContainerRegistryTest/ContainerRegistryTest.csproj --configuration Release --output /publish
+
+FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 as runtime-env
+WORKDIR /publish
+COPY --from=build-env /publish .
+ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS "http://+:80"
+EXPOSE 80
+ENTRYPOINT [ "dotnet", "ContainerRegistryTest.dll"]
+```
+
+## Optionally Build the Dockerfile
+
+This step is optional in your local environment, Github's actions will run the Docker commands. 
+
+- Install Docker (see https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/ for the easiest install)
+- Build the image with `docker image build . --tag umbraco-docker-container-in-github-package-registry` 
+  - This names the image `umbraco-docker-container-in-github-package-registry` in your local Docker installation
+
+## Create Github Actions to build & publish your containerised Umbraco images
+
+- Create the directory `./.github/workflows/` before starting
+
+### Create `publish-umbraco-image-to-registry.yml` to build & publish the package as a Docker Image
+
+This file is reproduced from Github's [documentation on publishing docker images]( https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-docker-images). It builds the application, and then pushes it to your repository's Packages URL. 
+
+```yml
+# See  for details
+
+name: Create and publish a Docker image of the Umbraco application
+
+# Configures this workflow to run every time a change is pushed to the branch `release`.
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: ['release']
+
+# Defines two custom environment variables for the workflow. These are used for the Container registry domain, and a name for the Docker image that this workflow builds.
+env:
+  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
+  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}
+
+# There is a single job in this workflow. It's configured to run on the latest available version of Ubuntu.
+jobs:

+      # This step uses [docker/metadata-action](https://github.com/docker/metadata-action#about) to extract tags and labels that will be applied to the specified image. The `id` "meta" allows the output of this step to be referenced in a subsequent step. The `images` value provides the base name for the tags and labels.

+      # This step uses the `docker/build-push-action` action to build the image, based on your repository's `Dockerfile`. If the build succeeds, it pushes the image to GitHub Packages.
+      # It uses the `context` parameter to define the build's context as the set of files located in the specified path. For more information, see "[Usage](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action#usage)" in the README of the `docker/build-push-action` repository.
+      # It uses the `tags` and `labels` parameters to tag and label the image with the output from the "meta" step.

+
+
+### (Optional) Create `build-umbraco.yml` to build your site with dotnet
+
+The following github action is optional. It will build an Umbraco application in dotnet and then run unit tests. It does nothing with Docker, but is useful as a first-stage build workflow as it runs common CI/CD steps. 
+
+```yml
+# This workflow will build a .NET project
+# For more information see: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/automating-builds-and-tests/building-and-testing-net
+
+name: .NET Umbraco build
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ "main", "stage", "develop" ]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ "main", "develop" ]
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    env: 
+      working-directory: './ContainerRegistryTest'
+      
+    steps:
+    - name: checkout source
+      uses: actions/checkout@v3
+    
+    - name: Setup .NET
+      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
+      with:
+        dotnet-version: 8.0.x
+    
+    - name: Restore dependencies
+      working-directory: ${{env.working-directory}}
+      run: dotnet restore
+    
+    - name: Build
+      working-directory: ${{env.working-directory}}
+      run: dotnet build --no-restore
+    
+    - name: Test
+      working-directory: ${{env.working-directory}}
+      run: dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal
+```
+
+### (Optional) Create `docker-build-umbraco-image.yml` to build your Umbraco site with dotnet into a Docker image
+
+The following github action is optional. It will build a Docker image of the Umbraco application.
+
+```yml
+name: Docker Build Umbraco Image
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ "main", "stage", "develop" ]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ "main", "develop" ]
+
+jobs:  
+  build-umbraco-container:
+
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+    - name: Build Umbraco Docker image
+      run: docker build . --file ./Dockerfile --tag my-image-name:$(date +%s)
+
+```
