Answer 1

I would argue the easiest way to retrieve version from your package.json is to use node itself.

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - export VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
    - export CONTAINER_RELEASE_IMAGE=$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$VERSION
    - cd /opt/core/bundle && docker build -t $CONTAINER_RELEASE_IMAGE .
    - docker push $CONTAINER_RELEASE_IMAGE
