Push images to alternative registry (eg. Github Container Registry)

[samip5]

I would like to request that the Github Action to push images would be updated to also push to Github Container Registry, to bypass Docker Hub's pull limits.

Ah thanks. Yeah we discussed it internally already (for maintainers, see https://github.com/orgs/PrivateBin/teams/maintainers/discussions/19), but nothing happened yet there. And indeed your argument is a very good one, actually.

It should be quite simple to integrate it into teh CI. I did something similar here: https://github.com/rugk/container-web-static-compressor/blob/41a15429a86c002d4f4a11b90262a49c2cad224a/.github/workflows/docker-ci.yml#L58-L74

(It pushed to Docker Hub and the selected part to GitHub Containers)

That's not visible for us non-org members.

Yes, I'll provide a summary.

So everything has been said already, apart from that, we've also discussed some other registries. So other interesting registries to consider are:

• https://quay.io/ – AFAIK also quite simple to push
• https://registry.fedoraproject.org/ - though for that, we may have to integrate that into the Fedora system (likely a Fedora base image) and you'd AFAIK need to be a Fedora package maintainer, so e.g. only Fedora's privatebin-server (if that exists, I did not check it) or so could be published there.
• or a self-hosted container regisitry e.g. based on GitLab or just Docker's registry server
• or, as said, GitHubs Container registry (just included here to have an overview of all possibilities)

@Zoey2936, your change worked and the nightly images got published to https://github.com/orgs/PrivateBin/packages - Some jobs failed with 403 authentication errors during the push to ghcr and I re-ran those manually to ensure we have a full set of images.

I will now tag the latest commit as 1.5.1-alpine3.17.2-ghcr and push the tag to trigger the tagged images getting re-built and pushed there as well. To conclude this issue, I think we should also document the new location(s) in the README - I'll prepare a pull request for you all to comment on.
