We release new versions every month. Give the main repository a star to stay up to date with the latest releases and get notified about future updates.

You can pin the dbt package version used in the built Docker images by providing the DBT_VERSION build arg at build time. The Dockerfiles in dockerfiles/ accept ARG DBT_VERSION and will pin the dbt adapter packages when supplied.

Local build example (pin to 1.9.1):

docker build \
  --build-arg DBT_VERSION=1.9.1 \
  -t ghcr.io/kestra-io/dbt-duckdb:dbt-1.9.1 \
  -f dockerfiles/dbt-duckdb.Dockerfile .

GitHub Actions

• packages.yml (runs on Dockerfile changes) supports workflow_dispatch with an optional dbt_version input; this is passed as the build arg and the image will be tagged dbt-<version> (e.g. ghcr.io/kestra-io/dbt-duckdb:dbt-1.9.1). Without dbt_version, images are tagged latest.
• packages-update.yml is manual (workflow_dispatch). It accepts a required image_tag and an optional dbt_version input. When dbt_version is provided, an additional dbt-<version> tag is added for each image.

Note: Some Dockerfiles use external installer scripts (like dbt-fusion.Dockerfile) and may require a different approach to pinning the dbt version; check the installer script for a supported --version argument and adapt the Dockerfile if needed.
