# Publish the container image to GHCR.
#
# The README and the docs site have told people to run
# `ghcr.io/coffey-labs/ihasmail:latest` for a long time, and nothing ever
# pushed it: `docker pull` answered `denied`, because the package did not
# exist. This is the workflow that makes those instructions true. It is also
# the prerequisite for the self-hosted app catalogues -- TrueNAS and Unraid
# both install by pulling an image and neither builds from source.
#
# FIRST RUN: a package GHCR creates for the first time is **private**, even in
# a public repository, and an anonymous `docker pull` will still answer
# `denied`. Nothing in a workflow can change that -- the visibility is set once
# by hand under the package's settings, and until it is, this looks like it
# worked while the docs stay just as wrong as before. Check with a logged-out
# pull, not with one from a machine that has credentials.
#
# Two architectures, each built on its own native runner rather than under
# QEMU. Emulated arm64 has to run `npm ci` and the Vite build through
# instruction translation, which takes tens of minutes and occasionally runs
# out of memory; `ubuntu-24.04-arm` is free for public repositories and does
# the same work at native speed. The cost is the by-digest dance below: each
# runner pushes an untagged image, and a final job joins the two digests into
# one multi-arch tag.

  # Same reasoning as ci.yml's dispatch trigger: a run GitHub queues and then
  # orphans can be neither rerun nor cancelled, and this workflow otherwise
  # only fires on a release -- which is not something to cut twice because a
  # runner died. `ref` also allows publishing an image for a tag that predates
  # this workflow, which is how the first one gets built.
