Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

Share built image between jobs

As each job is isolated in its own runner you cannot use your built image between jobs (except for self-hosted runners). However, you can pass data between jobs in a workflow using the actions/upload-artifact and actions/download-artifact actions:

name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'main'

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
      -
        name: Build and export
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v3
        with:
          context: .
          tags: myimage:latest
          outputs: type=docker,dest=/tmp/myimage.tar
      -
        name: Upload artifact
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: myimage
          path: /tmp/myimage.tar

  use:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    steps:
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
      -
        name: Download artifact
        uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: myimage
          path: /tmp
      -
        name: Load image
        run: |
          docker load --input /tmp/myimage.tar
          docker image ls -a
