Create a GitHub action that does a multi platform Docker build and publishes the image to GitHub

thanks,
can you say how this compares to #478 ?
(that one has been stalled, not sure why right now.)

I have commented in #478

down below the password is set to secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN so here no real change possible. I think the project should choose on registry (ghcr.io is fine) and remove this from env.

Using the sha is not done for the other github actions. Having here sha makes this without a dependabot or renovate hard to maintain. Do not know what the best solution is.

Why use checkout and context instead of the default git access of buildx?

[StefanSchoof]

Since my PR is 3 years old, I am totally fine to replace it with a modern approach.

i'm not fluent in github pipeline definitons so it's not easy for me to review this.
guessing from from the boilerplate comments, your workflow definition seems to be created based on some example, can you link that?
(or even commit the original and then your changes on top?)

What you can do:

Go to the "Actions tab". Then hit the button "New Workflow". Then choose the template "Publish Docker Container" and hit the "Configure" button.

How can I help to get build action implemented?

@oeiber:
you could address any of the comments above, either by commenting with suggestions here, or creating an MR of your own.

personally i'm no expert on this and it's not a priority for me.
my comment above was mostly that i don't like how i cannot tell which of this code is autogenerated and what was manually adjusted, so i suggested to put those into separate commits.
Stefan as author of the previous older MR also had some good questions that remained unanswered.
