This short readme covers the apify docker images release process.
The latest version of apify/actor-node is released with the latest tag (with the latest node) and corresponding node version tag, such as 14. This means that the images tagged with the newest node version and the latest tag are the same. Suppose the release is triggered with any other tag such as beta. The resulting images are tagged with a tag consisting of node version and the release tag. for example, 16-beta, 14-beta etc.
Images with browser automation libraries such as apify/actor-node-puppeteer-* and apify/actor-node-playwright-* follow the same principle as node image but add the browser automation version tag. The latest version is released with the tag latest, based on the newest node. The other tags for node versions consist of node version and browser automation library as well as only node version. For example, 14, 14-1.7.0 or 15-1.7.0. Other than the latest releases, such as beta, the images are tagged with node version, browser automation library version, and the release tag, in this case, beta. The tags look like this 14-1.7.0-beta or 15-1.7.0-beta etc.
