The pgEdge RPM repositories now authenticate clients with mutual TLS, and pgedge-release 2.0 ships them disabled, so these images can no longer install pgEdge packages without a client certificate.

• The certificate and key arrive as BuildKit secrets, mounted for each RUN that installs packages — the postgres, minimal, standard and coldfront stages. BuildKit never writes them to a layer.
• Each of those RUNs enables the repositories with pgedge-subscription-manager, installs, then a trap ... EXIT removes the installed copies and disables the repositories again before the layer is committed.
• This is repeated per RUN rather than done once in base on purpose: credentials installed in an earlier layer stay recoverable with docker save even if a later layer deletes them.
• The images therefore ship with no credentials and with the repositories disabled, which is also how pgedge-release ships them — an enabled repository the image cannot reach would break every later dnf transaction.
• The bootstrap package now comes from downloads.pgedge.com, which is ungated.
• pgedge.docker-bake.hcl passes the secrets; build-flavor takes them as inputs, writes them to $RUNNER_TEMP at 0600, and fails fast if either is empty.

Verified by building the postgres stage and auditing it:

check	result
installs from the gated repos	pgedge-postgresql17-17.11-1.el9.aarch64
credentials in the final filesystem	none
credentials in any layer (docker save, 6 layers)	none — only the empty /etc/pki/pgedge/ directory
repositories in the image	enabled=0

Not covered locally: the minimal, standard and coldfront stages, which chain from published parent images, and linux/amd64. They carry identical treatment but need a CI run.

Before merging, the repository needs the PGEDGE_REPO_CLIENT_CRT and PGEDGE_REPO_CLIENT_KEY secrets.

Walkthrough

The build workflows pass repository client credentials to the build action. The action writes the values to files, and Docker Bake passes them to image stages as BuildKit secrets. Those stages configure repository access during package installation and remove copied credential files afterward.

Changes: Image build repository access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Credential inputs and BuildKit secret wiring .github/actions/build-flavor/action.yml, .github/workflows/build_images.yaml, pgedge.docker-bake.hcl, .gitignore	The action requires certificate and key inputs, validates them, writes them to files, and passes their paths to the build. The four build jobs provide the repository secrets. Docker Bake maps the configured paths to BuildKit secret IDs. .gitignore excludes the default credential file paths.
Repository setup in image stages Dockerfile	The base stage installs the pgEdge release RPM from downloads.pgedge.com. The PostgreSQL, minimal, standard, and ColdFront stages mount the credentials, configure repository access, and remove copied client files and disable pgEdge repositories on exit.

Review comments at @.github/actions/build-flavor/action.yml:
- Around line 122-129: Update the Buildx Bake invocation arguments in the action
to allow filesystem reads from the `${RUNNER_TEMP}/pgedge-certs` directory,
where `REPO_CLIENT_CRT` and `REPO_CLIENT_KEY` point, so Bake can access those
certificate files.

Review comments at @Dockerfile:
- Line 158: Ensure the published parent images used by minimal, standard, and
coldfront contain a compatible pgedge-subscription-manager before its install
command runs. If they do not, update the parent images or install pgedge-release
from the ungated source before invoking pgedge-subscription-manager.

Review comments at @pgedge.docker-bake.hcl:
- Line 73: Update the credential defaults in the configuration so neither
default credential file can be added from the checkout: exclude both default
credential files from Git, or require credential paths outside the checkout.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Narrow the fs.read entitlement to the certificate directory.

--allow "fs.read=${RUNNER_TEMP}" lets Bake read any file under RUNNER_TEMP. Bake only needs ${RUNNER_TEMP}/pgedge-certs, which the earlier step creates. A narrower grant keeps the build job at least privilege while it holds the client key. The earlier review comment on this area suggested this narrower path.

Proposed change

-          --allow "fs.read=${RUNNER_TEMP}"
+          --allow "fs.read=${RUNNER_TEMP}/pgedge-certs"

Nice!

[jason-lynch]

Non-blocking suggestion: we could add an option to the pgedge-subscription-manager tool to avoid copying the certificates to a new location, such as --no-copy. That would be slightly less risky.

[maqeel75]

Okay. I'll open a separate ticket for it.
