 - Run `NAME=$DOCKER_USER/actions-runner-controller VERSION=canary make docker-build docker-push` for a custom container image build
 - Update your actions-runner-controller's controller-manager deployment to use the new image, `$DOCKER_USER/actions-runner-controller:canary`

+## Release process
+
+Only the maintainers can release a new version of actions-runner-controller, publish a new version of the helm charts, and runner images.
+
+All release workflows have been moved to [actions-runner-controller/releases](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/releases) since the packages are owned by the former organization.
