Add IMAGE_VERSION label / env variables to the Legend docker images
Feature Request
Description of Problem:
Docker images can be retagged, or used as a base for custom images. When doing so, it is not as straight-forward to determine the version of Legend Engine / SDLC / Studio is installed in the container. Similarly, this happens when uploading OCI-image resources into charmhub.io, where only the image SHA is kept.
Simply put, there should be a way to determine an image's version, ideally without having to create / run a container with it (docker inspect will list the image's labels and set environment variables).
Potential Solutions:
Having an IMAGE_VERSION label and / or env variable would address this issue; that information could easily be found out by inspecting the image / SHA.
Dockerfile:
ARG VERSION="latest"
LABEL IMAGE_VERSION="$VERSION"
# An environment variable could also be seen from inside the container as well.
ENV IMAGE_VERSION="$VERSION"
This VERSION ARG could then be passed in when building the image:
docker build -t yourregistry/legend-studio:1.0.0 --build-arg VERSION=1.0.0 .
