OPA version inside opal-client

[hongbo-miao]

(Not urgent, just some ideas)

OPA published 0.30.1 ten days ago. https://hub.docker.com/r/openpolicyagent/opa/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated&name=0.30.1

Currently opal-client 0.1.9 is using OPA 0.29.4 inside.

OPA is out of date. {'current_version': '0.29.4', 'download_opa': 'https://openpolicyagent.org/downloads/v0.30.1/opa_linux_amd64', 'latest_version': '0.30.1', 'release_notes': 'https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/releases/tag/v0.30.1', 'time': '2021-07-12T15:47:45Z'}

Ideally, if can implement some automation way (definitely needs a lot of tests) to bump version and keep OPA inside opal-client update, that will be awesome!

yup @Hongbo-Miao i am planning to release a new OPAL version this week - but currently we do not have such automation.

i wonder if there is a github action that is suitable to monitor a release of another project (the opa project) - it can then trigger the existing action of rebuilding the docker images.

Let me check and get back to you :)

@Hongbo-Miao in the meanwhile i republished 0.1.9 images with latest OPA. In general it is not recommended to republish images with same tags (even though OPAL code is still the same) - i will fix it with an automation so that a new OPAL version will be published automatically on OPA releases.
