nitpick: link is optional and I like to extract URL at the top of the file:

:gnu-make-url: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/make.1.html

* {gnu-make-url}[GNU make]

Also, I think we should https URL

Thanks @ggrossetie ! I've added the https link.

About the URL on top of the file: what is the rationale behind? I tend to do it when I repeat the URL on the file at least twice, but there might a good practise here that I don't know

Regarding the optional link, I tend to it because we have a Markdown file (for use on the DockerHub) so I tend to be explicit to make it easier differentiating between both format.

I find it easier to update (potentially broken) links when they are all together at the top of the file. When in doubt, you can ctrl+click all of them since they are located at the top of your file and see if they are still working as expected. It's a bit more tedious when external links are scattered.

Make sense! If you don't mind, I'll proceed with this PR (as it is a nitpick) and I'll send a subsequent PR with:

  • replacing remaining http:// scheme by https:// (we're in 2024 so either these are dead links to remove or they can handle https:// scheme)
  • Moving the links on top of the adoc documentations as described here

* link:https://github.com/sstephenson/bats[Bats] installed and in your bash PATH
* Docker installed and in your path

== How to build and test?

* Bats is used as a test suite runner. Since the ability to build is one way of testing, it is included.

* You just have to run the Bats test suite, from the repository root:
+
[source,bash]
----
make test
----

=== Include test in your build pipeline or test manually

You can use Bats directly to test the image.
Optionally, you can specify a custom image name:

[source,bash]
----
# If you want to use a custom name for the image, OPTIONAL
export DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME_TO_TEST=your-image-name
bats tests/*.bats
----

=== How to add a dependency?

Adding a dependency/new feature follows this process:

* An issue is usually recommended to explain the rationale of adding this new dependency with:
** Describing the feature is helps to provide to end users
** Evaluating the size of this new dependency is a good thing to help maintainers
** Links to the added project to help maintainer check and understand the underlying project (licensing, lifecycle, etc.)

* Then, a pull request mentioning the issue above is required with changes described below

* If the pull request is approved by the maintainers and merged to the principal branch:
** An automatic release of the image with the `latest` tag will be published to the DockerHub in the hour following the pull request merge
** A new release version of the image will be performed by a maintainers in the next hours or days, and automatically published with the same tag on the DockerHub

The pull request is expecting the following mandatory changes:

* The dependency is added in the link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/blob/main/Dockerfile[`Dockerfile`]

* The dependency version must be pinned in different files:
** In the link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/blob/2beff3ac5fef10d1b4c7507f4b84d31e0b479657/Dockerfile#L94-L120[`Dockerfile`] both as a build argument (`ARG`) to allow build time override, and as an environment variable (`ENV`) to provide value to user when running containers
** In the link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/blob/main/README.adoc[Asciidoctor formatted README] as a link:https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/attributes/document-attributes/[`Asciidcotr Document Attribute]
** In the link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/blob/main/tests/asciidoctor.bats[Bats Test Harness] as an environment variable so that any test case can use the value

* One (or many) test case(s) must be added in the link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/blob/main/tests/asciidoctor.bats[Bats Test Harness]
** The link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/tree/main/tests/fixtures[Test Fixtures Directory] may be used to store `.adoc` files to support your test cases

* It is recommended not to update the `README.md` (Markdown file): there is an automated process expected to take care of this step

Once the pull request is merged, you may produces a second pull request to add an link:https://www.updatecli.io/[updatecli] manifest tracking the version of the newly added dependency.
Of course this is not mandatory and should not block your contribution in any ways: maintainers are the expected fallback if you cannot or do not want to produce this second change.

=== How to bump a dependency?

Dependencies of the image (operating system, packages, Asciidoctor projects, etc.) are tracked using link:https://www.updatecli.io/[updatecli].
Once a day, a GitHub Action workflow link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/blob/main/.github/workflows/updatecli.yml[`updatecli.yaml`] is executed and opens pull requests if a new dependency can be bumped.

The list of tracked dependencies can be found in link:https://github.com/asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor/tree/main/updatecli/updatecli.d[].
Each YAML file maps to a given dependency and the section `targets` list each file modified on each version bump.

If you are a maintainer of any of these dependencies and want it to be bumped:

* Usual process is to wait 24 hours after you've released your project: the automatic pull request should be created, and approved/merged/released by maintainers
* If the update is time-bound, you can either:
** Open the pull request yourself, by running the following `updatecli` command on your machine with your own GitHub token:
+
[source,bash]
--
export UPDATECLI_GITHUB_TOKEN=xxxxx
updatecli apply --values ./updatecli/values.yaml --config ./updatecli/updatecli.d/<YAML manifest of your dependency>
--

** Open the pull request yourself by updating the files manually. The list of files can be found in the related `updatecli``related manifest.


=== How to scan for vulnerabilities?

* Trivy scans a docker image looking for software versions containing known vulnerabilities (CVEs).
It's always a good idea to scan the image to ensure no new issues are introduced.

* Run the following command to replicate the repo's `CVE Scan` pipeline on an image build locally.
Note the pipeline runs nightly on the latest release version, so it can display issues solved in main branch.
+
[source,bash]
----
trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL asciidoctor:latest
----

=== Deploy

The goal for deploying is to make the Docker image available with the correct Docker tag in Docker Hub.

As a matter of trust and transparency for the end-users, the image is rebuilt by Docker Hub itself by triggering a build.
This only works under the hypothesis of a minimalistic variation between the Docker build in the CI, and the Docker build by Docker Hub.

Deploying the image requires setting the following environment variables: `DOCKERHUB_SOURCE_TOKEN` and `DOCKERHUB_TRIGGER_TOKEN`.
Their values come from a Docker Hub trigger URL: `https://hub.docker.com/api/build/v1/source/${DOCKERHUB_SOURCE_TOKEN}/trigger/${DOCKERHUB_TRIGGER_TOKEN}/call/`.

You might want to set these variables as secret values in your CI to avoid any leaking in the output (as `curl` output for instance).
