How to build the code into a docker image and push it to the provider repository.

[jingliming]

After generating a provider through upjet, how to build the code into a docker image and push it to the provider repository pushed on the upbound. I did not find the relevant dockerfile or operating manual.
I made the provider according to the following documentation.
upbond provider docs
Below is the custom provider I registered and uploaded.

Here are some other relevant resources for building and publishing a provider:

• Publishing Provider packages to Dockerhub (for testing or local development) crossplane#3817
• https://github.com/crossplane-contrib/provider-upjet-aws?tab=readme-ov-file#contributing
  • provider-upjet-aws README, but is applicable for other family providers

@jbw976 I want to build the docker image locally and push it to the upbond repository. I refer to the command of the aws provider and I get an error.

15:17:08 [ OK ] docker build build-ae8df989/provider-alicloud-amd64
15:17:08 [ .. ] Building package provider-alicloud-v0.0.0-18.g54a95b7.xpkg for linux_amd64

This is my command to run:

@sergenyalcin I found that the error message also contains message about example , is it similar to the reason for this issue ?#484

[sergenyalcin]

@jingliming Could you please specify BRANCH_NAME as main? The crossplane/build submodule only allows publishing packages from the release and main branches. This will not override your branch and changes. This does not specify the codebase branch. This is just a limitation for the CI pipelines. When you specify main, it will still be built and published from your local codebase. This is just a workaround for this publication limitation.

As reference please see here: https://github.com/crossplane/build/blob/92457ef1c0feb75cd235bdb90244e340d0796b7f/makelib/xpkg.mk#L134

@jingliming Both are published: https://explore.ggcr.dev/?image=xpkg.upbound.io%2Fraymond%2Fprovider-alicloud:v0.0.0-19.g90c1171
This is multi-arch build and publish.
