Planned changes to Docker images
We're currently on our way to change the way we release Docker Images for Skytable and we'd like to share what we plan to do so that we can integrate any feedback that our users may have.
What happens today
Today, we maintain three sets of tags for images published on Docker Hub. These are:
latest
: This tag is built on every push to thenext
branch on GitHubnext
: This tag is the same as latestvX.Y.Z
: These tags match the git tags that are made whenever we release a new version
As you can see the latest
and next
tags are ambiguous as they do the same thing. However, several Docker images use the latest
tag that marks the latest release (an actual release). As a consequence of this convention, several users have been in a state of confusion regarding the latest
tag with Skytable's Docker images.
Planned changes
We plan to:
- Publish new images to the
skytable/skytable
Docker hub repository - The
latest
tag will reflect the latest "stable" release - The
next
tag will reflect the latest code on thenext
branch vX.Y.Z
will correspond to all the releases made- We will start releasing Docker images for 32-bit and 64-bit (we already release 64-bit versions today) Intel platforms
- We will start releasing Docker images for ARM64 and ARMv7
Feedback
We hope that these changes will make the use and creation of Docker images more accessible, coherent and convenient. However, we really want you to share any feedback that you may have through one of our chat channels or by tagging @skytabledb
on Twitter. We hope to hear from you soon!
