Preferred plugin for docker publish

Drone Support

Hi,

Which is the preferred plugin to publish a docker image to ECR?

  1. plugins/docker
  2. plugins/ecr

Which is active & planned to be maintained? Or plugins/docker is only meant for dockerhub?

plugins/ecr is the official, maintained plugin for publishing to ecr. You cannot use plugins/docker to publish to ecr because ecr uses non-standard authorization credentials for login, which is not supported by the docker plugin.

Please note, plugin/ecr doesn’t support Assume role and AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS, Temporary Security Credentials), there are some workaround you need to deal with.
