How to manage Docker images in Github Packages

Instead of using Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry can also be used for Image management.

You need to follow the below steps to do that:

1. Login to GHCR from Docker CLI using below command. Replace with your username & personal access token

docker login ghcr.io -u YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME -p YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

2. Build the Docker image locally

docker build -t ghcr.io/OWNER/IMAGE_NAME:TAG .

3. Push the docker image to GHCR

docker push ghcr.io/OWNER/IMAGE_NAME:TAG
