I see the latest Docker image is from 2021. Is it abandoned? Is everybody running Meteor in Galaxy or directly on their servers without Docker?
I see the geoffreybooth/meteor-base - Docker Image was updated only two months ago. It this the right way to go?
I am using that geoffreybooth image myself. I figure if it’s good enough for Disney it’s good enough for me too. And the maintainer’s track record of keeping up with Meteor updates has been solid to the best of my knowledge. You can see a lot of releases on Docker Hub.
Right now there’s a small issue with getting the image for 3.5 pushed to Docker Hub. There was a problem with getting 3.5 assets from meteor.com, which @italojs fixed very quickly. And then today a bug regarding versioning of npm lock files prevented the 3.5 from getting pushed. But here again @italojs took care of things and submitted a PR today in a matter of minutes after getting pinged. So really good work from the Meteor team. Hopefully the 3.5 image will be up soon.
A potential alternative image for Meteor builds might be what is shown here for the mup package:
https://meteor-up.com/docs.html#meteor-support
zodern/meteor:root. Have not used it for a while, but according to the docs it should work for version 3. If I recall correctly the builds should be larger with that image. But this is just from memory, not really sure if that’s correct.
