Version used in tor-relay indicated as 'not recommended' by ToR network
Firstly - thank you for this great resource, this has saved me hours figuring out good/neat ways to build certain docker images.
I believe the crux of this ticket is that when running the latest docker image jess/tor-relay, the log files tell you off for running an old version:
Aug 13 21:21:31.000 [warn] Please upgrade! This version of Tor (0.3.4.11) is not recommended, according to the directory authorities. Recommended versions are: 0.2.9.15,0.2.9.16,0.2.9.17,0.3.5.8,0.4.0.5,0.4.0.6,0.4.1.2-alpha,0.4.1.3-alpha,0.4.1.4-rc,0.4.1.5
After looking in to this I would expect the image to be on a later version and thought I would share my reasoning.
My assumption here is that jess/tor-relay (from docker hub) is built from https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/blob/master/tor-relay/Dockerfile (I assume that to be up to date because https://hub.docker.com/r/jess/tor-relay/ says it was updated 19 hours ago).
So when I pull the latest version I get Tor 0.3.4.11:
$ docker pull jess/tor-relay:latest && docker run jess/tor-relay:latest
latest: Pulling from jess/tor-relay

Status: Image is up to date for jess/tor-relay:latest
Aug 13 21:36:51.194 [notice] Tor 0.3.4.11 (git-4fd31340f3355342) running on Linux with Libevent 2.1.8-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.1b, Zlib 1.2.11, Liblzma N/A, and Libzstd N/A.
But when I build locally the latest commit (54c5cdb6c052801129a9676128a4ca28be5b1fb6) from this repo, I'm creating an image with the tor Tor 0.3.5.8 (one that the log files don't shout at me for running).

This is in the recommended versions (and the log lines don't tell me off for being on an old version).
So it looks like if there's a way to force a re-build then this might get the image on the latest version.
I appreciate the answer may be "build it yourself!", which is fair enough, but I thought I'd add what I found.
Thanks!
