Become an "Official Image"

[J0WI]

(from roundcube/roundcubemail#5827)

It would be great if you could do the steps to get into Dockers standard library aka "Official Images".

There are some administrative steps to fulfill:
https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#contributing-to-the-standard-library

This will enhance maintenance and trust in this Docker image.

I reckon for a project with the kind of audience RC has you deserve to become a certified image and keep the images up-to-date with the releases.

@thomascube is this something you support?
If so, a PR to https://github.com/docker-library/docs and https://github.com/docker-library/official-images is required to request inclusion. See also https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/blob/master/NEW-IMAGE-CHECKLIST.md

[thomascube]

In general yes. But I'm lacking the time to work through all the requirements and best-practices in order to get there. I don't think our current setup already satisfies all the requirements for becoming official. Any support or advise on this topic is highly welcome.

[J0WI]

I think this is already in a good shape. There are pending PRs to allow updates of existing volumes (#65) and to simplify the maintenance of this repo (#55).
Requesting inclusion will give us further feedback.

Is there some tasks to be done @J0WI ?

One of the maintainers need to open a MR at https://github.com/docker-library/official-images

@thomascube would you mind doing this ?
@J0WI could you give the steps needed for the content of the MR ?

[J0WI]

Here is a checklist: https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/blob/master/NEW-IMAGE-CHECKLIST.md

I'd recommend to create something like a generate-stackbrew-library.sh to create the library file from a script.

@J0WI @williamdes There's quite a list of things to do in terms of documentation and I'm currently lacking the time to get through all of that. Is becoming official really the only way to get ARM builds up?

[J0WI]

You already have most of the required documentation in your README. Though there is some work left to match the format and style of the library.

You can also cross build Docker images using buildx and QEMU: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/docker-setup-qemu
But only images from the official library defaults to the correct architecture on each platform, so users have to change the tag or repo manually.

See #201
