Description

Currently we build and release boulder-tools manually using test/boulder-tools/tag_and_upload.sh. But we should automate that process to ensure builds are always made reproducibly and from a clean state. That would also let us remove some push permissions on Docker Hub.

Research direction

Start by reading test/boulder-tools/tag_and_upload.sh to understand the current manual build and release process. Determine how automation can produce boulder-tools reproducibly from a clean state and reduce Docker Hub push permissions. Done means the image build and release no longer depend on that manual process.
