Proposed changes

Build and push the Docker image in the release workflow, and remove the separate Docker Hub workflow that rebuilt the image after "🎉 Release Binary" finished.

GoReleaser now builds the image with dockers_v2 from the binaries it compiles in the same run. The Dockerfile no longer builds katana. It copies $TARGETPLATFORM/katana from the GoReleaser build context and sets OCI labels. dockers_v2 replaces the deprecated dockers and docker_manifests.

Rename release-binary.yml to release.yml and the workflow to "🎉 Release", since it now publishes images too. The workflow logs in to Docker Hub and switches from goreleaser/goreleaser-action to projectdiscovery/actions/goreleaser. With release: true, the goreleaser action sets up QEMU and Buildx before it runs goreleaser release.

Tag images with the release tag, vX.Y, vX and latest. The old workflow pushed only the release tag and latest.

Disable image builds for snapshot runs in CI, where runners may lack QEMU. Local snapshot runs still build images.

Removing the old workflow also removes its workflow_dispatch trigger, so images can no longer be re-pushed without a release run.

Closes #1877

Proof

  • goreleaser check and actionlint .github/workflows/release.yml pass.
  • A local linux-only goreleaser release --snapshot --clean passes.
  • linux/amd64 image: katana -version prints v1.8.0; dig, Chromium and the CA certificates are present, and a headless crawl with -system-chrome-path /usr/bin/chromium-browser works. -headless -system-chrome finds nothing, as it does in the current image (-system-chrome is ignored with -headless, so headless crawls in the Docker image find nothing #1878).
  • linux/arm64: my host can't run non-native RUN steps, so I checked that the image's binary is arm64 and byte-identical to the GoReleaser build, that it prints v1.8.0 under qemu-aarch64, and that Alpine v3.24's aarch64 index has bind-tools, ca-certificates and chromium.

Checklist

  • Pull request is created against the dev branch
  • All checks passed (lint, unit/integration/regression tests etc.) with my changes
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • I have added necessary documentation (if appropriate)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Build and Distribution
    • Docker images now package a prebuilt Katana binary for the target platform and include OCI metadata labels. The runtime image continues to provide the required DNS, certificate, and browser packages, while using Alpine as its base. These updates are reflected in the published image contents and metadata.

Build and push the Docker image in the release workflow, and remove the
separate Docker Hub workflow that rebuilt the image after
"🎉 Release Binary" finished.

GoReleaser now builds the image with dockers_v2 from the binaries it
compiles in the same run. The Dockerfile no longer builds katana. It
copies $TARGETPLATFORM/katana from the GoReleaser build context and sets
OCI labels. dockers_v2 replaces the deprecated dockers and
docker_manifests.

Rename release-binary.yml to release.yml and the workflow to
"🎉 Release", since it now publishes images too. The workflow logs in to
Docker Hub and switches from goreleaser/goreleaser-action to
projectdiscovery/actions/goreleaser. With release: true, the goreleaser
action sets up QEMU and Buildx before it runs goreleaser release.

Tag images with the release tag, vX.Y, vX and latest. The old workflow
pushed only the release tag and latest.

Disable image builds for snapshot runs in CI, where runners may lack
QEMU. Local snapshot runs still build images.

Walkthrough

The Dockerfile now uses Alpine as its only stage. It adds OCI metadata labels and copies a prebuilt Katana binary from the target platform directory. Runtime package installation remains unchanged.

Changes

Docker packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prebuilt image packaging
Dockerfile
The Dockerfile removes the Go build stage, adds OCI metadata labels, and copies the platform-specific prebuilt binary to /usr/local/bin/katana. Alpine runtime packages remain installed.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Feature · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 20a5a

A rebuild could change the runtime of an existing Katana release, and a compromised crawler runs with container-root privileges. These are bounded risks suitable for owner awareness and follow-up.

This matches the request. The image is built from the release binaries in the same GoReleaser run, with the release tag, vX.Y, vX, and latest.

Run the crawler as a non-root user.

Dockerfile has no USER instruction, so the container runs katana as root by default. Add a dedicated user, set USER, and ensure Chromium's profile and cache paths are writable by that user.

Pin the Alpine base image for release builds.

The release workflow can run for a version tag or through workflow_dispatch, and GoReleaser publishes the exact {{ .Tag }} image tag. A later rebuild can resolve alpine:latest to a different Alpine release and install different apk packages. This can change the runtime of an existing Katana release. Use the validated fixed release or an immutable digest.
