Azure Container Registry (ACR)

Create a service principal with access to your container registry through the Azure CLI and take note of the generated service principal's ID (also called client ID) and password (also called client secret).

name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  login:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Login to ACR
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          registry: <registry-name>.azurecr.io
          username: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
          password: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET }}

Replace <registry-name> with the name of your registry.

Google Container Registry (GCR)

Use a service account with the ability to push to GCR and configure access control. Then create and download the JSON key for this service account and save content of .json file as a secret called GCR_JSON_KEY in your GitHub repo. Ensure you set the username to _json_key.

name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  login:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Login to GCR
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          registry: gcr.io
          username: _json_key
          password: ${{ secrets.GCR_JSON_KEY }}

AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)

Use an IAM user with the ability to push to ECR. Then create and download access keys and save AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as secrets in your GitHub repo.

name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  login:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Login to ECR
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          registry: <aws-account-number>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com
          username: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          password: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}

Replace <aws-account-number> and <region> with their respective values.

version: 2
updates:
  # Maintain dependencies for GitHub Actions
  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"
