Tutorial: Automate container image builds in the cloud when you commit source code

In addition to a quick task, ACR Tasks supports automated Docker container image builds in the cloud when you commit source code to a Git repository. Supported Git contexts for ACR Tasks include public or private GitHub or Azure Repos.

Note

Currently, ACR Tasks doesn't support commit or pull request triggers in GitHub Enterprise repos.

In this tutorial, your ACR task builds and pushes a single container image specified in a Dockerfile when you commit source code to a Git repo. To create a multi-step task that uses a YAML file to define steps to build, push, and optionally test multiple containers on code commit, see Tutorial: Run a multi-step container workflow in the cloud when you commit source code. For an overview of ACR Tasks, see Automate OS and framework patching with ACR Tasks

In this tutorial:

  • Create a task
  • Test the task
  • View task status
  • Trigger the task with a code commit

This tutorial assumes you've already completed the steps in the previous tutorial. If you haven't already done so, complete the steps in the Prerequisites section of the previous tutorial before proceeding.

Prerequisites

Get sample code

This tutorial assumes you've already completed the steps in the previous tutorial, and have forked and cloned the sample repository. If you haven't already done so, complete the steps in the Prerequisites section of the previous tutorial before proceeding.

Container registry

You must have an Azure container registry in your Azure subscription to complete this tutorial. If you need a registry, see the previous tutorial, or Quickstart: Create a container registry using the Azure CLI.

Create a GitHub personal access token

To trigger a task on a commit to a Git repository, ACR Tasks need a personal access token (PAT) to access the repository. If you do not already have a PAT, follow these steps to generate one in GitHub:

  1. Navigate to the PAT creation page on GitHub at https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

  2. Enter a short description for the token, for example, "ACR Tasks Demo"

  3. Select scopes for ACR to access the repo. To access a public repo as in this tutorial, under repo, enable repo:status and public_repo

    Screenshot of the Personal Access Token generation page in GitHub

    Note

    To generate a PAT to access a private repo, select the scope for full repo control.

  4. Select the Generate token button (you may be asked to confirm your password)

  5. Copy and save the generated token in a secure location (you use this token when you define a task in the following section)

    Screenshot of the generated Personal Access Token in GitHub

Prepare your environment for the Azure CLI

Create the build task

Now that you've completed the steps required to enable ACR Tasks to read commit status and create webhooks in a repository, you can create a task that triggers a container image build on commits to the repo.

First, populate these shell environment variables with values appropriate for your environment. This step isn't strictly required, but makes executing the multiline Azure CLI commands in this tutorial a bit easier. If you don't populate these environment variables, you must manually replace each value wherever it appears in the example commands.

ACR_NAME=<registry-name>        # The name of your Azure container registry
GIT_USER=<github-username>      # Your GitHub user account name
GIT_PAT=<personal-access-token> # The PAT you generated in the previous section

Now, create the task by executing the following az acr task create command.

Note

The Dockerfile used in the following example depends on a public base container image from Docker Hub. To improve reliability when using public content, import and manage the image in a private Azure container registry, and update your Dockerfile to use your privately managed base image. Learn more about working with public images.

az acr task create \
    --registry $ACR_NAME \
    --name taskhelloworld \
    --image helloworld:{{.Run.ID}} \
    --context https://github.com/$GIT_USER/acr-build-helloworld-node.git#master \
    --file Dockerfile \
    --git-access-token $GIT_PAT

This task specifies that any time code is committed to the main branch in the repository specified by --context, ACR Tasks will build the container image from the code in that branch. The Dockerfile specified by --file from the repository root is used to build the image. The --image argument specifies a parameterized value of {{.Run.ID}} for the version portion of the image's tag, ensuring the built image correlates to a specific build, and is tagged uniquely.

Output from a successful az acr task create command is similar to the following:

        "status": "Enabled"
      }
    ]
  },

}

Test the build task

You now have a task that defines your build. To test the build pipeline, trigger a build manually by executing the az acr task run command:

az acr task run --registry $ACR_NAME --name taskhelloworld

By default, the az acr task run command streams the log output to your console when you execute the command. The output is condensed to show key steps.

Trigger a build with a commit

Now that you've tested the task by manually running it, trigger it automatically with a source code change.

First, ensure you're in the directory containing your local clone of the repository:

cd acr-build-helloworld-node

Next, execute the following commands to create, commit, and push a new file to your fork of the repo on GitHub:

echo "Hello World!" > hello.txt
git add hello.txt
git commit -m "Testing ACR Tasks"
git push origin main

You may be asked to provide your GitHub credentials when you execute the git push command. Provide your GitHub username, and enter the personal access token (PAT) that you created earlier for the password.

Username for 'https://github.com': <github-username>
Password for 'https://githubuser@github.com': <personal-access-token>

Once you've pushed a commit to your repository, the webhook created by ACR Tasks fires and kicks off a build in Azure Container Registry. Display the logs for the currently running task to verify and monitor the build progress:

az acr task logs --registry $ACR_NAME

Output is similar to the following, showing the currently executing (or last-executed) task:

Showing logs of the last created run.
Run ID: ca7

[...]

Run ID: ca7 was successful after 38s

List builds

To see a list of the task runs that ACR Tasks has completed for your registry, run the az acr task list-runs command:

az acr task list-runs --registry $ACR_NAME --output table

Output from the command should appear similar to the following. The runs that ACR Tasks has executed are displayed, and "Git Commit" appears in the TRIGGER column for the most recent task:

RUN ID    TASK            PLATFORM    STATUS     TRIGGER    STARTED               DURATION
