Docker image 'latest' outdated (still running 0.1.0)

Open rsnitsch opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The tag 'latest' has not been updated for 2 years. It is still running av1an 0.1.0:

$ docker run --privileged -v "$(pwd):/videos" --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -it --rm masterofzen/av1an:latest --version
av1an 0.1.0

I only discovered this by excessive caution (double- and triple-checking everything due to the weird FPS issue, see #732)...

Now that I checked the docs again I see that this is mentioned in the docs (it says "(outdated) masterofzen/av1an:latest for the latest stable python release"), however (!), the example commands presented in the docs are still using the latest tag. So that's why I originally overlooked the 'outdated' part...

In general I think you should stick to the Docker convention of 'latest' being the most recent release anyway. If there have been special python releases in the past that are now outdated you can simply add a new tag for such images like 'latest-python-outdated'.

I believe the idea for latest for av1an was to pin it to releases only but since av1an was in such rapid development and releases were very far and few in between back then we never actually setup the tagging for latest. I dont think there is a reason we would keep a latest tag for the old python release as so much as changed since then, i dont see why you would utilize that version instead of the new rust versions.
