What is Shipway?

Shipway is a Docker workflow automation platform designed to seamlessly connect GitHub teams with Docker environments. By integrating directly with GitHub, Shipway automatically discovers repositories, identifies Dockerfiles, and manages automated Docker image builds upon every push. The platform handles permissions by mirroring GitHub organizations, teams, and collaborator settings, thereby eliminating redundant access control management for Docker repositories.

Shipway ensures each build is traceable by exclusively supporting trusted build modes—pulling code directly from GitHub—and provides a hosted Docker registry for reliable and fast image downloads using S3 storage. Real-time build logs are available via a web console, while webhook support enables further integration possibilities, such as automated deployments to Kubernetes. Access tokens simplify repository pull operations and can be managed at both personal and deploy-specific levels.

Features

FAQs

  • Why would I want to use Docker?
    Docker provides a standardized process to build, transfer, and run application images within isolated containers, enabling consistent workflows and better collaboration between development and operations teams.
  • Why would I want to use Shipway?
    Shipway reliably automates repetitive Docker image build and delivery processes, freeing teams to focus on delivering quality software while ensuring images are always current and ready for deployment.
  • Why doesn't Shipway allow users to push Docker images directly?
    Shipway maintains traceability for every Docker image by operating exclusively in trusted build mode, pulling code directly from GitHub and building from Dockerfiles to ensure transparency.
  • Can Shipway integrate with my favorite service?
    Yes, Shipway supports webhooks that can send customizable POST requests to any service capable of receiving them.
