Description

This script automates the process of building and pushing a Docker image to DockerHub, while incrementally tracking the version number. It uses the directory name as the default local image name, but allows for customization through command-line arguments.

The script builds the Docker image with a version tag in the format MM.DD.YY.<counter>, where <counter> is an incremental value stored in a file. The image is then tagged with additional tags on DockerHub (latest and tebwritescode/<image_name>:<date>.<counter>).

Usage

To use this script, save it to a file (e.g., build_and_push_docker_image.sh) and make it executable by running chmod +x build_and_push_docker_image.sh.

You can run the script in three different modes:

1. No arguments: The script will use the directory name as both the local image name and Docker image name.

dcp

2. One argument: The script will use the parent directory name for the local image name, but allow you to specify a custom Docker image name using the first command-line argument.

dcp <DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME>

3. Two arguments: You can specify both the local image name and the Docker image name as separate command-line arguments.

dcp <LOCAL_IMAGE_NAME> <DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME>

Example Output

When you run the script, it will output something like this:

Docker image built with tag: myimage:02.14.21.1
Docker image tagged: tebwritescode/myimage:02.14.21.1
Docker image tagged: tebwritescode/myimage:latest
Docker image pushed: tebwritescode/myimage:02.14.21.1
Docker image pushed: tebwritescode/myimage:latest

Local Image Name: myimage
Docker Image Name: myimage

Note that the exact output may vary depending on your directory name and DockerHub credentials.

Assumptions

This script assumes you have Docker installed on your system, as well as the docker command in your PATH. Additionally, it requires a valid DockerHub account with access to the repository where you want to push your image.

Downloading the Script

Create folders mkdir /opt/dcp mkdir /opt/dcp/counters

You can download this script by running:

curl -sSO https://github.com/tebwritescode/dcp/blob/14d5d8d8126f94e9867152339f1ee644ee9e1c1e/dcp.sh > /opt/dcp/dcp.sh && chmod +x /opt/dcp/dcp.sh

Setting up an Alias

To make it easier to use this script, you can set up an alias by adding the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):

alias dcp='/opt/dcp/dcp.sh'

Once you've added this alias, you can simply run dcp instead of typing out the full script name.

Using the Alias

To use the dcp alias, simply type:

dcp [optional arguments]

For example:

dcp myimage latest

This will build and push a Docker image with the tag tebwritescode/myimage:latest.
