RELEASING.md

Releasing

1. Checkout your fork and make sure it's up-to-date with the upstream

   $ git remote -v
   origin     git@github.com:<your account>/trivy-operator.git (fetch)
   origin     git@github.com:<your account>/trivy-operator.git (push)
   upstream   git@github.com:aquasecurity/trivy-operator.git (fetch)
   upstream   git@github.com:aquasecurity/trivy-operator.git (push)

   git pull -r
   git fetch upstream
   git merge upstream/main
   git push

2. Prepare release by creating the PR with the following changes

   1. In deploy/helm/Chart.yaml

      1. Update the version property (if change automatically will release a new chart)
      2. Update the appVersion property

   2. Update the app.kubernetes.io/version labels in the following files:

      1. deploy/static/namespace.yaml
      2. deploy/helm/templates/specs/nsa-1.0.yaml

   3. Update static resources from Helm chart by running the mage target:

      mage generate:manifests

   4. In mkdocs.yml

      1. Update the extra.var.prev_git_tag property
      2. Update the extra.var.chart_version property

3. Review and merge the PR (make sure all tests are passing)

4. Update your fork again

   git pull -r
   git fetch upstream
   git merge upstream/main
   git push

5. Create an annotated git tag and push it to the upstream. This will trigger the .github/workflows/release.yaml workflow

   git tag -v0.16.3 -m 'Release v0.16.3'
   git push upstream v0.16.3

6. Verify that the release workflow has built and published the following artifacts

   1. Trivy-operator container images published to DockerHub docker.io/aquasec/trivy-operator:0.16.3
   2. Trivy-operator container images published to Amazon ECR Public Gallery public.ecr.aws/aquasecurity/trivy-operator:0.16.3
   3. Trivy-operator container images published to GitHub Container Registry ghcr.io/aquasecurity/trivy-operator:0.16.3

7. Submit trivy-operator Operator to OperatorHub and ArtifactHUB by opening the PR to the https://github.com/k8s-operatorhub/community-operators repository.
