Pre-built Docker images for public use

[jusa3]

We're currently looking to deploy Skosmos on a Kubernetes cluster, and I was wondering if you could provide pre-built Docker images for public use.

While the source code is available and can be built locally, having a pre-built Docker image would simplify the deployment process, especially in automated environments or for those looking to quickly integrate Skosmos without needing to build the images themselves.

Thanks for the suggestion @jusa3 ! I agree that this would make sense, it's just a questions of resources.

What I can say from the Skosmos development team perspective is that this is unlikely to happen for Skosmos 2.x, since we are focusing practically all our development efforts on Skosmos 3.

In Skosmos 3 development, we are making more use of Docker containers in the development process (e.g. running Cypress tests against a dockerized Skosmos in the CI pipeline), so it would be logical to publish those container images as well.

In the near future we will start planning for initial Skosmos 3 alpha/beta releases, this will be one of the aspects in that discussion.
