Latest or best Docker images to use in 2022
By Danie
I saw some very old discussions about possible Docker images to use for Elgg. Since I migrated hosting providers I now host everything in docker containers which is working very well for me. But all the references to possible Docker images for Elgg seem rather outdated, with some last updated 4 years ago.
The best "recent" one I could find is https://github.com/demyxco/elgg updated 2 years ago. It is giving me a login error related to an NGinx issue, though.
So just wondering if there are any other recommendations in 2022?

Great thanks those do look better, and I'd not seen them before.
Out of all the docker options seen, the one that provides the best installation guide and environmental settings etc is still https://github.com/demyxco/elgg, but it is v3.x. I solved the login issue as I had specified the upload size as 128 instead of 128M, and that solved everything. But no container image updates. I've logged an issue on his project about updates, as this one would be perfect if it was on v4.x.
I've looked at the others mentioned, which certainly look more up to date, but the instructions are really sparse. The repo https://github.com/mrclay/elgg-docker-2 for example specifies no external volumes for data persistence, and no issues appear to be logged.
Also, with https://github.com/ColdTrick/elgg_webserver zero environmental variables for volumes, networks, etc, and again no issues ever logged. Seems to be just a web server and PHP modules, but not Elgg itself in a container?
Most projects have an image like at https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-duplicati which has a docker-compose file to modify for easy installation.
