Description

We need to investigate possible ways of decoupling code web stable and insiders config, it gets a bit cumbersome when we want to release a new code stable image, and we have modified the dockerfile (e.g. due to new upstream changes related to the server) since the last stable release and this changes are not backwards compatible

Research direction

Start by examining the Dockerfile and the configuration used for code web stable and insiders images. Trace how a new stable image is released when upstream server changes have altered the Dockerfile. Done means documenting or implementing a decoupling approach that avoids incompatible changes affecting the stable release.
