Publish updated Docker image
trickert76 opened this issue · comments
I was looking for an official docker image of sydent and found the sydent-build. But I was confused about the latest push. Already 10 months old. The last release of Sydent was in November (2.5.1).
I don't understand the description at https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/sydent-build - it is talking about installing some packages (which isn't necessary). I needed some time to scroll down and find the docker chapter. But it is also talking about building the image.
Also naming it ..-build is strange for a ready to use image.
I think this is confusing. I've looked into the issue #290 saying - merged - but at the end - it isn't updating the image 10 months ago.
I'd like to have an up2date docker image published, that is automatically updates either on commits to main branch or maybe via a scheduler to also include fixes of other layers (like bullseye/buster libs).
I'm not sure, if this is something, you want (please give me a hint). But at the end it is very easy to be implemented via Github Actions, so nobody needs to do something. See documentation - https://github.com/marketplace/actions/build-and-push-docker-images - I've already running examples. If you want, I can build a PR at least for a "latest" tag (ignoring specific tags).
We automatically publish Docker images for Synapse, and could re-use that workflow here.
The sydent-build image is not meant for external use, nor is it meant to be persisted... looks like it was accidentally pushed to Docker Hub. We'll take it down and consider replacing it with a proper image in the near future.
