• 🔁 Designed for cache-friendly workflows

⁠🧠 Why use this image?

Traditional CI pipelines waste time on:

This image eliminates that overhead, enabling:

• ⚡ Faster startup times
• 🔁 Better cache utilization
• 🧩 Cleaner workflows

⁠🚀 Usage

⁠🔵 GitHub Actions

name: CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    container:
      image: rostertools/ci-node-moon:22.22.2-slim

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline

      - name: Build
        run: moon run :build --parallel

⁠🟢 Forgejo Actions

name: CI

on:
  push:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: self-host

    container:
      image: rostertools/ci-node-moon:22.22.2-slim

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline

      - name: Build
        run: moon run :build --parallel

⁠🔐 Private Registry Auth (pnpm)

If you use a private registry:

- name: Setup npm auth
  run: |
    echo "//registry.example.com/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}" > ~/.npmrc

⁠⚡ Performance Tips

• Use pnpm fetch before install for faster dependency resolution

• Cache:

  • ~/.local/share/pnpm
  • .moon/cache

• Prefer:

  pnpm install --prefer-offline
  

  Copy

⁠⚠️ Alpine Variant Notes

The 22-alpine image is smaller but:

• Uses musl libc instead of glibc
• Some native dependencies may fail (e.g. esbuild, sharp, etc.)
• Moon/Proto toolchains may have edge-case issues

👉 Use only if fully tested in your pipeline
