Repoints the three image builds at the org-owned reusable workflow added in EduIDE/.github#1, and collapses three near-identical 18-line jobs into one matrix (107 → 62 lines).

Why

  • Drops the cross-org dependency. All three jobs currently point at ls1intum/.github@feature/split-build-workflow-modes — an unmerged PR branch in another organisation. If it is deleted, every build here breaks at once.
  • Both architectures on every event, including PRs. build-arm64: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }} meant PR images were amd64-only, so a PR build could not be scheduled onto an arm64 node.
  • fail-fast: false, so one component failing no longer cancels the other two.

Removed

verify-cache.yml (228 lines) and certs/squid-proxy-ca.crt. That workflow only probed cluster-internal services:

apt-cacher-ng.apt-cacher-ng.svc.cluster.local
registry-mirror.registry-mirror.svc.cluster.local
registry-mirror-ghcr.registry-mirror.svc.cluster.local
squid.squid.svc.cluster.local
verdaccio.verdaccio.svc.cluster.local

All .svc.cluster.local, therefore unreachable from GitHub-hosted runners. The CA certificate existed solely to talk to the Squid proxy.

What to watch on this PR

This is the first real test of the runner migration:

  1. All three components publish a manifest with both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 (the workflow asserts this and fails if not).
  2. Build duration versus the previous ARC runs.
  3. No disk exhaustion. These are small Java images so free-disk-space is off; the large Theia images in EduIDE are the real test and come next.

Note on @v1

v1 currently points at the head of EduIDE/.github#1, not a merged commit, so this PR can be validated before that one merges. I will re-point v1 at the merge commit once EduIDE/.github#1 lands. Nothing else consumes v1 yet.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Simplified and consolidated container image build workflows.
    • Updated builds to use the standard shared workflow.
    • Removed obsolete build configuration options.
  • Refactor

    • Removed the scheduled cache verification workflow.
    • Removed the embedded Squid proxy certificate used for HTTPS interception.

Repoints the three image builds at the org-owned reusable workflow and
collapses three near-identical 18-line jobs into one matrix (107 -> 62
lines).

Why this matters beyond tidiness:

- Drops the dependency on ls1intum/.github@feature/split-build-workflow-modes,
  an unmerged PR branch in another organisation. If that branch is
  deleted, every image build here breaks.

- operator, service and conversion-webhook are now built for both
  linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 on every event, including pull requests.
  Previously arm64 was skipped for PRs, so a PR image could not be
  scheduled onto an arm64 node.

- fail-fast: false, so one component failing no longer cancels the other
  two.

Removes verify-cache.yml and certs/squid-proxy-ca.crt. That workflow only
probed cluster-internal services (apt-cacher-ng, verdaccio, squid and the
two registry mirrors, all .svc.cluster.local) which are unreachable from
GitHub-hosted runners, and the CA certificate existed solely for it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Docker build workflow now uses a single matrix job with the EduIDE/.github reusable workflow. Manual inputs and build parameters were reduced. The cache verification workflow and Squid proxy CA certificate were deleted.

Changes

CI build and cache workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Matrix build workflow and cache cleanup
.github/workflows/build.yml, .github/workflows/verify-cache.yml, certs/squid-proxy-ca.crt
The build workflow keeps only image_tag and disable_layer_cache, removes execution-mode-specific concurrency, and consolidates three image builds into one matrix job. The cache verification workflow and Squid proxy CA certificate were deleted.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b6b66

The PR enables image publication for all pull requests, but fork and Dependabot tokens cannot publish packages; those checks may fail instead of validating the change. Merge readiness requires routing untrusted pull requests through a build-only path or explicitly accepting this limitation.

GitHub Actions pull_request fork Dependabot GITHUB_TOKEN read-only permissions reusable workflow cannot elevate permissions

💡 Result:

GitHub Actions workflows triggered by pull requests from forks—including those opened by Dependabot—are intentionally restricted to a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN and have no access to secrets by design [1][2][3][4]. This is a security feature to prevent untrusted code in a pull request from accessing sensitive environment secrets or gaining unauthorized write access to the repository [5][6][4]. These restrictions apply regardless of any permissions explicitly defined in your workflow file [7][8]. Because this behavior is enforced by the GitHub platform at the event-trigger level, a reusable workflow cannot "elevate" or override these default read-only permissions when the trigger is a pull request from a fork [3][6][4]. To perform tasks that require write permissions or secrets for fork-based pull requests, you must use alternative, secure patterns: 1. Workflow Run Trigger: Use a two-stage process. The first workflow (triggered by pull_request) performs untrusted tasks (like building or testing) and produces artifacts. A second workflow, triggered by workflow_run, executes in the base repository's context with access to secrets and a read-write GITHUB_TOKEN to perform the privileged operations (such as commenting or labeling) [3][4]. 2. pull_request_target Trigger: This trigger runs the workflow from the base repository's default branch, allowing access to secrets and a write-capable token [5][4]. IMPORTANT: This is a high-risk approach [3][4]. You must never check out or execute code from the fork (e.g., using actions/checkout without careful configuration) when using this trigger, as doing so would allow malicious code to hijack the elevated permissions [5][6][4]. 3. Dependabot-Specific Secrets: If your workflow is specifically for Dependabot, note that Dependabot-triggered workflows have access to Dependabot-specific secrets [1][2]. If you need standard repository secrets, ensure they are also defined as Dependabot secrets [1]. In summary, do not attempt to bypass these restrictions in a fork-based pull_request workflow, as the platform will always enforce the read-only limitation [7][8]. Instead, decouple your automation into trusted and untrusted components [3][4].

Route untrusted pull requests to a build-only workflow.

Fork and Dependabot pull requests receive read-only GITHUB_TOKEN permissions. The called workflow declares packages: write but unconditionally pushes architecture digests and the manifest. These jobs can fail during publication instead of validating the pull request.

Runner migration: validated ✅

First real run on GitHub-hosted runners (run 32856451180) — success, all three components.

Job amd64 arm64 merge
operator 2m 07s 2m 28s 0m 22s
service 2m 29s 2m 23s 0m 11s
conversion-webhook 2m 18s 2m 11s 0m 16s

Tag derivation ran in ~3s per component. Wall clock is ~3 min per component since the architectures build in parallel.

Manifests verified dual-arch:

operator             linux/amd64 linux/arm64
service              linux/amd64 linux/arm64
conversion-webhook   linux/amd64 linux/arm64

These are pr-125, which under the old workflow would have been amd64-only — build-arm64 was disabled for pull requests.

No disk pressure (free-disk-space: false for these small Java images). The large Theia images in EduIDE remain the real test of the runner change and are next.
