Description
Currently, it appears the only tags pushed to Dockerhub are the latest tag and the git commit sha.
For example, when the newest 3.4.0 image was tagged, it was tagged as
- latest
- 14a22d7a7060a0fba06c5dd716898d47728f0fce
It's often useful to have more meaningful tags created that match the actual version. With the latest 3.4.0 release it would preferred that it also be tagged with the version. So the following docker tags.
- latest
- 14a22d7a7060a0fba06c5dd716898d47728f0fce
- 3.4.0
Additionally, it's not to have simplified major/minor tags. So the ideal set of tags would be
- latest
- 14a22d7a7060a0fba06c5dd716898d47728f0fce
- 3.4.0
- 3.4
- 3
