Updatecli

kind: updatecli

Description

The updatecli Autodiscovery plugin allows to automatically search and update container tags defined in Updatecli.yaml files.

Manifests

Parameters

Name Type Description Required
auths object Auths provides a map of registry credentials where the key is the registry URL without scheme
    password string

password specifies the container registry password to use for authentication. Not compatible with token

	compatible:
		* source
		* condition
		* target

	default:
		by default credentials are fetch from the local environment such as `~/.docker/config.json`.

	remark:
		Not compatible with token
    token string

token specifies the container registry token to use for authentication.

	compatible:
		* source
		* condition
		* target

	default:
		by default credentials are fetch from the local environment such as `~/.docker/config.json`.

	remark:
		Not compatible with username/password
    username string

username specifies the container registry username to use for authentication.

	compatible:
		* source
		* condition
		* target

	default:
		by default credentials are fetch from the local environment such as `~/.docker/config.json`.

	remark:
		Not compatible with token
files array

Files allows to specify a list of Files to analyze.

The pattern syntax is:

    pattern:
      { term }
    term:
      '*'         matches any sequence of non-Separator characters
      '?'         matches any single non-Separator character
      '[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']' character class (must be non-empty)
      c           matches character c (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[')
      '\\' c      matches character c

  character-range:
  	c           matches character c (c != '\\', '-', ']')
      '\\' c      matches character c
      lo '-' hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi

 Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring.
 The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, when pattern
 is malformed.

 On Windows, escaping is disabled. Instead, `\\` is treated as
 path separator.
ignore array Ignore allows to specify rule to ignore autodiscovery a specific Updatecli based on a rule
    path string Path specifies a Updatecli compose filepath pattern, the pattern requires to match all of name, not just a subpart of the path.
    policies object Policies specifies a Updatecli policy
only array Only allows to specify rule to only autodiscovery manifest for a specific Updatecli based on a rule
    path string Path specifies a Updatecli compose filepath pattern, the pattern requires to match all of name, not just a subpart of the path.
    policies object Policies specifies a Updatecli policy
rootdir string rootdir defines the root directory used to recursively search for Updatecli manifest
versionfilter object

versionfilter provides parameters to specify the version pattern used when generating manifest.

kind - semver versionfilter of kind semver uses semantic versioning as version filtering pattern accepts one of: prerelease - Updatecli tries to identify the latest prerelease whatever it means patch - Updatecli only handles patch version update minor - Updatecli handles patch AND minor version update minoronly - Updatecli handles minor version only major - Updatecli handles patch, minor, AND major version update majoronly - Updatecli only handles major version update a version constraint such as >= 1.0.0

kind - regex versionfilter of kind regex uses regular expression as version filtering pattern accepts a valid regular expression

example:

  versionfilter:
    kind: semver
    pattern: minor

and its type like regex, semver, or just latest.

More examples can be found at https://www.updatecli.io/docs/core/versionfilter/
    kind string specifies the version kind such as semver, regex, or latest
    pattern string specifies the version pattern according the version kind for semver, it is a semver constraint for regex, it is a regex pattern for time, it is a date format
    regex string specifies the regex pattern, used for regex/semver and regex/time. Output of the first capture group will be used.
    replaceall object replaceAll applies a regex replacement to version strings before filtering. This is useful for transforming versions (e.g., curl-8_15_0 to curl-8.15.0) before regex extraction.
        pattern string Pattern specifies the regex pattern to match for replacement
        replacement string Replacement specifies the replacement string (supports $1, $2, etc. for captured groups)
    strict boolean strict enforce strict versioning rule. Only used for semantic versioning at this time
