Description

From a customer:

The container has a compressed version of matomo that it unzips on entrypoint. But docker images are always compressed so all this should be doing is making new pod startup slightly slower and introducing an extra stumbling block for running Jobs (such as the archive job) against it. If it was adjusted to just be built with the current matomo release, it'd be more standard and perform just the same.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Docker build and entrypoint, focusing on where the compressed Matomo release is created and unzipped. Update the image to use the current Matomo release directly, then verify normal container startup and archive Jobs no longer depend on runtime decompression.
