ci(server): give the docker build a registry layer cache - #250
Conversation
`cache-from`/`cache-to` were unset, so every CI build refetched the 231 MB lance extension and re-ran both apt layers from scratch. None of the layer ordering in the Dockerfile bought anything on CI. Registry cache rather than `type=gha`: the image is ~1.9 GB, and `mode=max` on it would churn through the 10 GB Actions cache quota. The cache tag follows `SERVER_DOCKER_IMAGE`, so dev and release caches never mix — and neither do their platform sets. `image-manifest=true,oci-mediatypes=true` is what Docker Hub will accept for the cache manifest. PR previews read the cache but do not write it: they push from divergent trees and would only evict trunk's entries. The `latest` push rebuilds the same context, so it reads the cache and does not re-export it.

The 40-line if/else only ever branched on `inputs`, so it moves to a job-level `env:` block. What's left in shell is IMAGE_TAG, the one value that reads an earlier step's output. Docker Hub creds go straight to the login step instead of through GITHUB_ENV.

official actionlint v1.7.9 ShellCheck integration SC2086 pre-commit hook behavior
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In actionlint v1.7.9, the integration with ShellCheck remains consistent with previous versions, where actionlint acts as a wrapper that automatically detects and executes the system-installed shellcheck binary to analyze scripts within run: steps [1][2]. Regarding the behavior of SC2086 (Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting) and the pre-commit hook: 1. Integration Behavior: By default, actionlint checks if the shellcheck command is available on the system path [1][2]. If found, it applies ShellCheck analysis to scripts running under bash or sh [1][2]. You can specify a custom path to the executable using the -shellcheck flag or disable it entirely by setting shellcheck= [1][3][2]. 2. Pre-commit Hook Limitations: A known issue with the standard actionlint pre-commit hook is that it does not inherently bundle or install ShellCheck [4][5]. Consequently, if ShellCheck is not manually installed on the development machine or in the specific environment where the pre-commit hook runs, actionlint will silently skip ShellCheck analysis, leading to inconsistent behavior compared to CI environments where ShellCheck is typically pre-installed (e.g., on GitHub-hosted runners) [5]. 3. SC2086 Handling: When ShellCheck is successfully integrated, SC2086 is reported as an informational warning [1][2][6]. Because actionlint parses the output of the external shellcheck process, the error location provided in the report corresponds to the specific line and column within the run: block of your workflow file [1][2][6]. To ensure consistent behavior, users are advised to either ensure shellcheck is present in their local development environment or, in some cases, use alternative wrappers (like actionlint-py with shellcheck-py) that may better manage dependencies within the pre-commit framework [4].

Quote $GITHUB_ENV in the redirect.
When ShellCheck is available to the configured actionlint hook, this Bash command reports SC2086 and causes lint validation to fail. Quote the environment-file path.
Proposed fix
- run: echo "IMAGE_TAG=$TAG" >> $GITHUB_ENV
+ run: echo "IMAGE_TAG=$TAG" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Why
cache-from/cache-towere unset on bothdocker/build-push-actionsteps, soBuildKit started from nothing on every CI run. Concretely, each build refetched the
231 MB lance extension and re-ran both
apt-getlayers — the layer ordering work inextralit-server/docker/server/Dockerfilebought nothing on CI, only locally.Only the wheel differs between two builds of the same tree, and it enters last.
Everything above it is cacheable.
Why registry cache, not
type=ghaThe image is ~1.9 GB.
type=gha,mode=maxon it would churn through the 10 GBGitHub Actions cache quota and start evicting other workflows' entries. Registry
cache has no such ceiling and the credentials are already in the job.
Shape
SERVER_DOCKER_IMAGE, soextralit/(release, multi-arch)and
extralitdev/(dev, amd64) caches never mix.image-manifest=true,oci-mediatypes=true— Docker Hub rejects the default cachemanifest-list media type.
exporting would only evict trunk's entries without ever being a hit.
latestpush rebuilds the same context, so it getscache-fromonly.Effect
First run after merge is a cache miss and populates
:buildcache. Every run afterthat skips the lance fetch and both apt layers.
