Release Guide

This project publishes binaries through GitHub Releases and container images through GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).

Docker Hub is optional. The default open-source release path does not require a Docker Hub account, namespace, access token, or repository secret.

One-Time GitHub Setup

  1. Make sure GitHub CLI is logged in as the project owner:

    gh auth status

    Expected account:

    Colvin-Y

  2. Keep the repository private while reviewing the initial open-source import. When ready to publish, change the repository visibility to Public from GitHub repository settings.

  3. Leave GitHub Actions enabled. The workflows declare their own minimum token permissions:

    • release workflow: contents: write
    • docker workflow: contents: read, packages: write

    If the Docker workflow fails with a package permission error, check:

    Repository Settings -> Actions -> General -> Workflow permissions

    Use read and write workflow permissions when the repository policy blocks package publishing.

  4. After the first image is published, check the package under:

    https://github.com/users/Colvin-Y/packages/container/package/kubernetes-ontology

    Public GHCR packages can be pulled without authentication. If the package is private, change the package visibility to Public before documenting it for external users.

Publish A Version

Use semantic version tags:

git tag v0.1.4
git push origin v0.1.4

Replace v0.1.4 with the release tag you are publishing.

Pushing the tag starts both workflows:

  • .github/workflows/release.yml creates a GitHub Release and uploads per-platform archives containing kubernetes-ontology (CLI), kubernetes-ontologyd (server), kubernetes-ontology-viewer, README files, QUICKSTART.md, AI_CONTRACT.md, and the local config example.

  • .github/workflows/docker.yml builds and pushes a multi-architecture image:

    ghcr.io/colvin-y/kubernetes-ontology:v0.1.4
ghcr.io/colvin-y/kubernetes-ontology:0.1.4
ghcr.io/colvin-y/kubernetes-ontology:latest

The Docker workflow also supports manual workflow_dispatch runs with an explicit version input, which is useful for retrying image publishing.

Verify The Release

Check the workflow runs:

gh run list --workflow Release --limit 5
gh run list --workflow Docker --limit 5

Check the release assets:

gh release view v0.1.4

Inspect one archive when release packaging changes:

gh release download v0.1.4 --pattern 'kubernetes-ontology_v0.1.4_linux_amd64.tar.gz' --clobber
tar -tzf kubernetes-ontology_v0.1.4_linux_amd64.tar.gz | grep -E 'kubernetes-ontologyd$|kubernetes-ontology$|QUICKSTART.md|local/kubernetes-ontology.yaml.example'

Pull the image:

docker pull ghcr.io/colvin-y/kubernetes-ontology:v0.1.4

Deploy through Helm:

helm upgrade --install kubernetes-ontology ./charts/kubernetes-ontology \
  --namespace kubernetes-ontology \
  --create-namespace \
  --set image.repository=ghcr.io/colvin-y/kubernetes-ontology \
  --set image.tag=v0.1.4 \
  --set cluster=your-logical-cluster \
  --set contextNamespaces='{default,kube-system}'

Expose the server locally:

kubectl -n kubernetes-ontology port-forward svc/kubernetes-ontology 18080:18080

Query it with the release CLI:

kubernetes-ontology --server http://127.0.0.1:18080 --status

Publish The Agent Skill

The skill is distributed from the repository default branch, not from release archives. Keep marketplace pages pointed at the live repository path so users get the newest onboarding workflow:

https://github.com/Colvin-Y/kubernetes-ontology/tree/main/skills/kubernetes-ontology-access

For each release:

  1. Keep skills/kubernetes-ontology-access/SKILL.md metadata aligned with the release you are documenting.

  2. Push the skill and README changes to the default branch before refreshing marketplace entries.

  3. Ensure GitHub repository topics include:

    claude-skills
claude-code-skill
agent-skills
codex-skills
kubernetes
devops
troubleshooting

    With an authenticated GitHub CLI:

    gh repo edit Colvin-Y/kubernetes-ontology \
  --add-topic claude-skills \
  --add-topic claude-code-skill \
  --add-topic agent-skills \
  --add-topic codex-skills

  4. Refresh the manually submitted registries:

    • https://skills.re/submit: submit the repository URL and select skills/kubernetes-ontology-access.
    • https://skillhub.pm/submit: submit as a Skill in the DevOps & Infrastructure category.

  5. SkillsMP has no manual submit flow yet. It indexes GitHub daily, so verify after the next sync:

    curl -fsS 'https://skillsmp.com/api/v1/skills/search?q=kubernetes-ontology-access&limit=10'

Optional Docker Hub Mirror

If you later want Docker Hub as an additional mirror:

  1. Create a Docker Hub account and repository such as colviny/kubernetes-ontology.

  2. Create a Docker Hub access token.

  3. Add GitHub repository secrets:

    DOCKERHUB_USERNAME
DOCKERHUB_TOKEN

  4. Extend .github/workflows/docker.yml with a second docker/login-action step and additional docker.io/... image tags.

Keep GHCR as the default path unless there is a specific reason to add the extra registry.
