Jon Chery de8fdc0fe4 feat(P03): docker release — multi-stage Dockerfile + Gitea container registry publish
REQ-046: Docker image published to Gitea container registry per release.

Dockerfile: multi-stage (golang:1.25 -> distroless/static-debian12:nonroot).
  CGO_ENABLED=0, ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca, ENTRYPOINT [/orca].
  Image size: ~28MB. Runs as nonroot.

.coreci.yml: new container-publish step in release pipeline (docker:24-cli,
  builds + tags + login + push + logout).

scripts/release.sh: docker build + push after Gitea release. Graceful
  skip if docker absent or GITEA_TOKEN unset. Env-overridable registry.

.dockerignore: excludes .git, bin/, .env, .ciagent/, testdata/, *.tar.gz.

docs/docker.md: pull, run, state persistence (volume mount), local build,
  manual publish guide.

Verified: docker build + run version/init with volume persistence.

Orca

Offline/CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, far simpler than Kubernetes.

Status

v0.1: Foundation — see .ciagent/ROADMAP.md for the 6-phase plan.

Pillars

  • Simplicity — single binary, minimal dependencies
  • AI-first — CLI designed for both humans and AI agents
  • Offline-first — no cloud dependencies
  • CLI-first — primary interface is the command line
  • Security before features — NFRs ship before new functionality
  • Bug fixes before features — stability is paramount
  • NFRs before features — observability and auditability first

Quickstart

Install (1-liner)

# User-level install (binary at ~/.local/bin/orca, state at ~/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

# System-level install (binary at /usr/local/bin/orca, state at /root/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --system

# Pin a specific version
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.4.2

Then initialize local state and verify:

orca init          # creates ~/.orca/ (or /root/.orca with --system)
orca version       # prints version info
orca --help        # show all subcommands

Build from source

make build         # Build binary to ./bin/orca
./bin/orca init    # Initialize local state
./bin/orca version # Verify

Update in place

Re-running the installer updates the binary while preserving your config, database, and certificates in the namespace dir:

curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# → "updated orca from v0.4.1 to v0.4.2"

Subcommands

Command Description Status
orca version Print version info Phase 1
orca init Initialize local orca state Phase 1 (stub)
orca status Show orca daemon status Phase 1 (stub)
orca node Node management (join, leave, list) Phase 2
orca job Job management (run, list, stop, logs) Phase 3

Development

make build      # Build binary to ./bin/orca
make test       # Run tests with race detection
make lint       # Run golangci-lint
make fmt        # Format code
make release    # Build + create Gitea release (Phase 6)
