Add action to build and push docker to ghcr.io

[bkeepers]

This adds a GitHub Action to build and publish to ghcr.io on push so users easily access a pre-built docker image.

$ docker run -it --rm \
  -v /tiledata:/data \
  ghcr.io/felt/tippecanoe:latest \
  tippecanoe --output=/data/output.mbtiles /data/example.geojson

It should automatically tag the releases, e.g.

• latest release: ghcr.io/felt/tippecanoe:latest
• major versions: ghcr.io/felt/tippecanoe:2
• PRs: ghcr.io/felt/tippecanoe:pr-348
• branches ghcr.io/felt/tippecanoe:branchname

Containers will also show up in the sidebar by releases. You can see what the first build looks like on my fork: https://github.com/bkeepers/tippecanoe/pkgs/container/tippecanoe

Thanks for the contribution. I am wary of approving because I don't understand the full implications of using:

password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Would you mind linking to documentation about how authentication works on this docker repository? Thanks.

No problem, here are overall docs on Publishing docker images, and here are docs on GITHUB_TOKEN secret.

Before each job begins, GitHub fetches an installation access token for the job. The GITHUB_TOKEN expires when a job finishes or after a maximum of 24 hours.

People with admin permissions to an enterprise, organization, or repository, can set the default permissions to be either permissive or restricted.

Any movement on this? I had to resort to publishing my own image for this but it would be cool if this could be solved ofically

For the moment, https://hub.docker.com/r/versatiles/versatiles-tippecanoe seems to be a decent alternative.

VersaTiles is a completely FLOSS stack for generating, distributing, and using map tiles based on OpenStreetMap data, free of any commercial interests.

I set up a nightly docker build at https://github.com/openwatersio/tippecanoe. Everything is tagged with release versions. I didn't build past versions, but going forward it will build any new releases.

docker pull ghcr.io/openwatersio/tippecanoe
