"Official Images" for Gentoo

[oxr463]

New Docker users are encouraged to use the Official Images in their projects. These images have clear documentation, promote best practices, and are designed for the most common use cases. --https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_images

I'd be willing to do the work if needed to get this going.

I just had a co-worker ask me about this, so I will be following it as well.

$ docker search --filter is-official=true gentoo/

is the search my co-worker was using to see if we have official images. What do we need to do to make this happen?

Thanks,

William

I concur that it would be helpful to have our images added to the official source of truth, however I believe we will want to work toward having a Gentoo base in place of the Alpine base before starting the process.

Having a gentoo image that's FROM gentoo won't be acceptable (just FYI); see https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/8999#issuecomment-720622797 :eyes:

I would suggest either sticking with "bootstrap/download" based on Alpine or considering https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/13769 (although this one is probably not an option given the size of the stage3 tarballs) :+1:
