Add Artifact Attestations to Workflow
Add SLSA build-provenance attestations to existing GitHub Actions workflows for Docker container images.
Steps
Find existing workflow files in
.github/workflows/that containdocker/build-push-actionor similar steps. Note that composite actions may be used — read both the composite action and the calling workflow simultaneously.Enable OIDC & Attestations permissions
In each workflow's top-levelpermissions:block, grant both the OIDC token and attestations write privileges:permissions: id-token: write attestations: write contents: read # (existing) packages: write # (existing)Log in to container registries
Ensure authentication steps exist for each registry you'll attest against. Judge whether there are omissions based on the implemented content, rather than always logging into all registries.- name: Login to GHCR uses: docker/login-action@v3 with: registry: ghcr.io username: ${{ github.actor }} password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} - name: Login to Docker Hub uses: docker/login-action@v3 with: registry: index.docker.io username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }} password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }} - name: Login to Quay uses: docker/login-action@v3 with: registry: quay.io username: ${{ secrets.QUAY_USERNAME }} password: ${{ secrets.QUAY_TOKEN }}Build & push image, capturing the digest
