Become an official Docker image

Open J0WI opened this issue 7 years ago • 11 comments

The current Docker image of mailcatcher is not listed in the Docker Store/Docker Hub. It would be great if you could make it an "official image".

@J0WI: Could you please leave a reference what construes "The current Docker image of mailcatcher" for you when you created this issue (or just edit it in)? That would be very kind of you.

Also if you could elaborate into which issue you were running and how your suggestion would contribute to your benefit would be great to read.

The current image means this. It has just been published a few days ago, but it's not yet listed as "official image" on Dockerhub and Docker Store.

I'm not sure if MailCatcher is considered important enough to be an office Docker image! Maybe?

It is built from the official Docker Ruby image, it builds on the official Docker infrastructure with full build logs, and is set to re-build when the upstream Ruby image changes to stay up to date with security updates, etc., so we're most of the way there. Does it just need to be submitted?

Does it just need to be submitted?

I think so, yes.

A strong reason to submit it is, that there are many commuinity based images that are not maintained and don't follow the best practice. It's hard to find yours.

Just my two cents: Mailcatcher is important :) and +1 for any initiative to make it easier to find.

@tianon or @yosifkit may be able to answer some of the question :-)

While were at it. I think it would also be better to use alpine. See https://hub.docker.com/r/schickling/mailcatcher/~/dockerfile/

Yes please - an official image would be great!

It would be great to get this docker image updated automatically when new releases are tagged.

The docker image has been updated to use alpine, and now clocks in at ~25MB total, only 5.85MB (compressed) of that is a unique layer for mailcatcher.

I've also pushed both linux/arm64 and linux/amd64 images.
