retired-image

An inert replacement image for a retired long-running service. It writes one status line, makes no network requests, and remains running until it receives SIGINT or SIGTERM. Remaining alive prevents always and unless-stopped restart policies from creating restart storms.

Local build

docker build \
  --build-arg SERVICE=sinavideo \
  --build-arg CONTAINER_NAME=saveweb_archivesinavideo \
  -t retired-image .
docker run --rm retired-image

Publish over a retired service

Run the Publish retirement image workflow manually and set:

• repository: the registry repository to retire, for example saveweb/sinavideo.
• service: the name printed once at container startup.
• container_name: the container name printed in the removal command, for example saveweb_archivesinavideo.
• retirement_tag: an immutable audit tag, for example retired-20260826.

The workflow publishes both the immutable retirement tag and latest to git.saveweb.org. Existing deployments that track latest can then replace the old service image without changing their container configuration.

Pinned old image tags are intentionally not overwritten.
