Description

Task

Because we do not have the release process hooked up to the newer cicd pipeline, we need to use the nightly pipeline to build and deploy a dotcms-dev image that uses the latest release. This means that when a new release is pushed, the dev image will be updated with that at the nightly build, keeping it pretty much in sync.

Right now we only have the dotcms/dotcms-dev:nightly, which is ok but can contain some untested or "unreleased" code.

Research direction

Start by locating the nightly pipeline configuration and the existing build and deployment steps for dotcms-dev:nightly. Trace how the latest released dotCMS codebase is selected and how Docker images are tagged; done means dotcms/dotcms-dev:latest is built and deployed nightly from the latest release rather than unreleased code.
