Summary

  • verify the GitHub release tag matches the package version
  • validate and publish the npm package using trusted publishing
  • publish the Docker release only after npm succeeds
  • update checkout and Node setup actions

Required setup

Configure an npm trusted publisher for the caprover package:

  • Organization: caprover
  • Repository: caprover-cli
  • Workflow: release.yml
  • Environment: leave blank

Validation

  • npm run build
  • npm run formatter
  • workflow YAML parsing
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Release automation now validates that release tags match the package version.
    • Packages are built, formatted, and published to npm as part of the release process.
    • Docker image publishing now runs after successful npm publication.
    • Updated release workflow permissions and checkout tooling.
    • Updated the Docker runtime to Node.js 20.
    • Docker builds now use reproducible dependency installation.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow validates the package version, publishes the package to npm, and then builds and pushes the Docker release. The Dockerfile now uses Node.js 20 and installs dependencies with npm ci.

Changes

Release workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate and publish npm package
.github/workflows/build_push_docker_release.yml
The workflow sets job-level permissions, uses Node.js 24, checks the release tag against package.json, runs build and formatter commands, and publishes the package to npm.
Build and push Docker release
.github/workflows/build_push_docker_release.yml, Dockerfile
The Docker job depends on npm publication, uses actions/checkout@v4, and uses updated release-step wording. The Docker image uses Node.js 20 Alpine and installs dependencies with npm ci.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b4e57

47-47: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial

Configure npm Trusted Publisher settings

Configure npm for owner caprover, repository caprover-cli, and workflow filename build_push_docker_release.yml. Enter only the filename. A mismatch can cause npm publish to reject the OIDC publisher despite id-token: write.

- Line 9: Move id-token: write from the workflow-level permissions to the
validate-and-publish-npm job’s permissions, and keep build-publish-docker-hub
limited to contents: read.
- Line 50: Update the Docker build configuration to use a Node.js 20-or-newer
base image with a compatible npm version, matching the package.json engine
requirement and lockfileVersion 3. Replace npm install with npm ci so the image
uses the exact dependency tree validated by CI.
