Description

Problem

As an engineer, I would like the ability to easily roll back to a previous release without having to dig through the thousands of docker tags. It would be nice to be able to have - weekly, weekly-1 (weekly minus 1 - one week ago), weekly-2 (weekly minus 2 - 2 weeks ago) etc..

This would allow us to use latest and if we find a blocking issue, switch to weekly-1 or weekly-2 and get last weeks or 2 week old release.

Goal

Be able to easily roll back to a release 1, 2 or 3 weeks old.
Have a weekly cron that auto-tags these for us to keep the list up to date.

Target Personas
  • Developer teams
  • Content teams
  • DevOps teams
  • System administrators (dotCMS)
Demo Expectations

How the release, release-1, release-2 tags exist and map to older releases.

Start by locating the release process that publishes Docker tags and the weekly automation or cron configuration. Trace how releases are selected and tagged, then verify that the current release and the three preceding weekly releases consistently receive the requested rollback tags.
