Publish Docker image to different repos based on branch?

Drone Support

I’m trying to publish Docker images built from the master branch to a production repository and all other dev branches to a dev repository. Right now I’m basically duplicating the Drone configs like this:

  - name: publish_prod
    image: plugins/gcr
    pull: always
    volumes:
      - name: docker
        path: /var/run/docker.sock
    privileged: true
    settings:
      repo: gcr.io/blah/blah_prod
      target: prod
      tags:
        - ${DRONE_COMMIT_SHA:0:7}
    when:
      branch: 
      - master
      event: 
      - push
  
  - name: publish_dev
    image: plugins/gcr
    pull: always
    volumes:
      - name: docker
        path: /var/run/docker.sock
    privileged: true
    settings:
      repo: gcr.io/blah/blah_dev
      target: prod
      tags:
        - ${DRONE_COMMIT_SHA:0:7}
    when:
      branch:
        exclude:
        - master
      event:
      - push

This certainly works but I’m hoping there is a better way to do this instead of duplicating the two parts. Is there a way to provide a repo variable conditioned on the branch name or something like that?

The approach you are using is the recommended approach. If you want to reduce duplication in your yaml you can use anchors [1] or you can use jsonnet [2]
