feat: shared dual-arch Docker build workflow (GitHub runners, no ARC) - #1
Conversation
Adds the org-wide reusable workflow that every EduIDE image will build
through, replacing the current dependency on
ls1intum/.github@feature/split-build-workflow-modes - an unmerged PR
branch in another organisation that all six of our build call sites
currently point at.
Modelled on ls1intum/.github@main digest-merge pattern, with three
deliberate changes:
- Both architectures are always built, including on pull requests.
Today build-arm64 is disabled for PRs, so a PR image cannot be
scheduled onto an arm64 node - which our test clusters have.
- GitHub-hosted runners only. No execution-mode input, no ARC path, no
network: host, so what CI proves is what ships.
- The published manifest is verified, not assumed. A silently
single-architecture image is the failure this workflow exists to
prevent.
Fixes a tag-slugging bug inherited from the upstream idiom:
echo "$TAG" | tr -c "a-z0-9_.-" "-"
echo appends a newline and tr maps it to a hyphen, so every tag derived
this way gains a trailing "-". This is not theoretical - GHCR currently
holds both 1.1.0 and 1.1.0- / 1.1.0--375ef32 for eduide-cloud/service
and eduidec-landing-page. Uses printf instead.
Also validates the derived tag against Docker tag grammar before
building. scorpio carries real tags v.1.1.1 / v.1.0.11 / v.1.0.12 which
strip to ".1.1.1"; a tag may not start with a period, so today that
fails at push time after a full multi-arch build. Now it fails in
seconds with the reason.
tests/test-derive-tags.sh extracts the derivation shell straight out of
the workflow YAML and executes it, so the tests cannot drift from what
runs in CI. 17 cases covering tag derivation, platform selection and
guards.

The merge job has no checkout, so hashFiles(inputs.docker-file) returned an empty string there while the build job returned a real hash. The download pattern would never have matched the uploaded artifact, so every build would have failed at manifest assembly. Derive an artifact_key in the setup job instead, which both jobs can read. Also correctly namespaces digests when one caller run builds several images, which is the normal case here.

💡 Result:
In the EduIDE repository, the reusable GitHub Actions workflow build-and-push-docker-image.yml (invoked via ls1intum/.github/.github/workflows/build-and-push-docker-image.yml) is utilized to standardize the building and pushing of Docker images across the project [1][2]. The specific terms mentioned relate to how the workflow manages image dependencies, tagging, and layer caching: BASE_TAG (or BASE_IDE_TAG): This is a build argument passed to downstream language images in the EduIDE CI pipeline [1][2]. It ensures that language-specific images (e.g., C, Java, Python) are built upon the correct version of the base-ide image [1][2]. The build-and-push job typically consumes the sha_tag output from the preceding build-and-push-base job to populate this argument, effectively pinning the base image dependency [1][2]. sha_tag: This is an output produced by the build-and-push-base job in the EduIDE workflow [1]. It represents the unique identifier (commit SHA) for the base image just built, which is subsequently used to ensure that dependent images reference that specific, immutable base image build [1][2]. cache_tag: This refers to the mechanism used for Docker layer caching in the registry [1]. EduIDE configures cache-from and cache-to fields to reference specific registry tags (e.g., build-cache or build-cache-pr-{number}) [1]. This enables the workflow to leverage previously built image layers to speed up CI runs, rather than rebuilding them from scratch [1]. In practice, these variables allow EduIDE to maintain a modular and performant build system where the base image is built once and reused, and subsequent builds are accelerated through registry-based cache management [1][2].

OCI Distribution Specification tag 128 characters reference tag grammar
💡 Result:
According to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) Distribution Specification, a tag must be at most 128 characters in length [1][2][3]. The specification mandates that all tag names must match the following regular expression [1][2][3]: [a-zA-Z0-9_][a-zA-Z0-9._-]{0,127} This grammar implies the following requirements: 1. The tag must begin with an alphanumeric character or an underscore (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or _) [1][4]. 2. Subsequent characters may include alphanumeric characters, periods, underscores, or dashes (a-z, A-Z, 0-9,., _, -) [1][4]. 3. The total length of the tag must not exceed 128 characters [1][4]. Registry implementations and clients should adhere to these rules for compatibility. Additionally, some clients may impose a separate constraint of 255 characters on the total length of the registry hostname, separator, and tag combined, which may effectively limit the maximum length of a tag further depending on the registry's address length [1].

Validate every derived Docker tag. BASE_TAG may use all 128 allowed characters, but sha_tag and the base-derived cache_tag append characters. These values can exceed the OCI tag limit and fail during cache export or image publication. Validate every generated tag, or reserve space for each suffix.

Disable Git credential persistence in both checkout steps.
actions/checkout@v4 stores GITHUB_TOKEN in .git/config by default. Later steps execute repository-controlled code, including tests/test-derive-tags.sh. A pull request can read and exfiltrate this token from the workspace. Set persist-credentials: false on both checkout steps.

Community health files here are inherited by every repository in the organisation that does not define its own. - profile/README.md: the organisation landing page, which is currently blank. Explains what EduIDE is and what each repository does. - SECURITY.md: private vulnerability reporting via GitHub advisories, with a scope section covering the risks specific to running untrusted student code in shared per-session containers. - ISSUE_TEMPLATE: seeded from EduIDE-Cloud, with the upstream Theia Cloud references removed. config.yml previously pointed at eclipse-theia/theia-cloud discussions and EclipseSource commercial support; bug_report.yml told reporters to mail security@theia-cloud.io. - PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: asks what was actually verified, what the deployment impact is, and how to roll back. Also adds auto-assign as a reusable workflow. Note that GitHub does not inherit workflows from the org .github repository, only community health files, so the five duplicated copies cannot simply be deleted. Each repository keeps a short caller instead, which puts the logic in one place while respecting that constraint. The shared version additionally skips bot-authored pull requests and does not overwrite existing assignees.

The merge job downloads digests by glob. With a bare slug as the artifact
key, an image whose name is a prefix of another image name also matches
that other image artifacts:
pattern digests-<run>-1-eduide-eduide-c-*
matched digests-<run>-1-eduide-eduide-c-amd64 (correct)
digests-<run>-1-eduide-eduide-c-arm64 (correct)
digests-<run>-1-eduide-eduide-c-templates-amd64 (wrong image)
digests-<run>-1-eduide-eduide-c-templates-arm64 (wrong image)
imagetools create then failed because those digests do not exist in the
c repository. Caught by the first full EduIDE run: 12 of 15 images
published fine and exactly the three prefix-colliding names failed -
c, java-17 and rust.
Every artifact key now ends in an 8 character hash of the full image
name, so no key can prefix-match another. Adds a regression test over all
five colliding pairs in the real image set; it fails against the previous
implementation.

When download-artifact matches nothing it never creates the digests directory, so the step failed on working-directory with An error occurred trying to start process /usr/bin/bash with working directory /home/runner/work/_temp/digests. No such file or directory which says nothing about the actual problem. Create the directory first and let the existing guard report it. The guard now also names the real cause. Artifact names include github.run_attempt, so re-running only the merge job looks for attempt-2 artifacts while the build jobs uploaded attempt-1 ones and nothing matches. Re-run all jobs instead.

Adds the org-wide reusable workflow that every EduIDE image will build through.
Why
All six image-build call sites across EduIDE, EduIDE-Cloud and EduIDE-Landing-Page currently point at:
That is an unmerged PR branch in another organisation (ls1intum/.github#59, still open; its predecessor #58 was closed unmerged). If the branch is deleted, every image build in the org breaks simultaneously. The workflow also hardcodes EduIDE-specific ARC runner labels, so it arguably belongs here anyway.
What changed vs. the upstream workflow
Modelled on
ls1intum/.github@main's digest-merge pattern, with three deliberate differences:build-arm64: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}makes PR images amd64-only, so a/deployof a PR build cannot be scheduled onto an arm64 node - which our test clusters have.execution-mode, no ARC path, nonetwork: host. One way to build, so what CI proves is what ships.Two bugs fixed
1. Trailing hyphen on every derived tag. The upstream idiom is:
echoappends a newline;tr -cmaps it to a hyphen. This is already in our registry:Both correct and corrupted tags exist, which suggests a release build produced
1.1.0-and someone re-ran with a manualimage_tagoverride (that path skipstr) to get the clean one. Usesprintfnow.2. Malformed git tags fail late.
scorpiocarries real tagsv.1.1.1,v.1.0.11,v.1.0.12. Those strip to.1.1.1, and a Docker tag may not start with a period - so today the registry rejects it only at push time, after a full multi-arch build. The derived tag is now validated against Docker tag grammar up front.Tests
tests/test-derive-tags.shextracts the derivation shell straight out of the workflow YAML withyqand executes it, so tests cannot drift from what runs in CI. 17 cases: tag derivation, platform selection, guards.ci.ymlruns it plus actionlint on every PR.Follow-up
This PR only adds the workflow. After merge it needs tagging
v1, then a separate PR per repo repoints the call sites and drops the ARC plumbing. The riskiest part - whether the large Theia IDE images fit on a standard runner - gets proven oneduide-cloud/servicetheneduide/basebefore the remaining thirteen are converted.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
