Background

The Sleeper CLI includes a sleeper deployment command for running scripts to deploy and work with instances of Sleeper. This currently has jar files and Dockerfiles included in it which need to be built into Docker images every time a deployment is done to AWS. That takes a long time if you don't run the build inside AWS.

Description

We would like the Docker images to be published to a central repository, so that they can be retrieved by the CDK as in issue #1330.

Analysis

We could perform the Docker build in GitHub Actions, but it might be better to run it as part of the nightly build, so that the artifacts will only be deployed if the acceptance tests are successful. We will follow up on this to use it in the release process in #1330.

We may want to hold the images in Docker Hub, or in GitHub Packages initially.

There's another issue for handling the deployment of pre-published images:
