Quay tags: stable/latest/pre-release etc.

See original GitHub issue

Please see https://quay.io/repository/ansible/molecule?tab=tags.

Our latest tag current points to the latest build IIUC. See https://github.com/ansible/molecule/issues/1813#issuecomment-471504129.

I’m unfamiliar with conventions for the latest tag but should it be latest ‘stable’, and point to v2.19?

See https://github.com/ansible/molecule/issues/1813#issuecomment-471476378.

My intuition is:

  • stable -> v2.19 (or latest stable release)
  • vX.Y -> pre-release versions for pre-release hacking / feedback / early testing
  • latest -> convenience for latest build (and potentially dangerous to target)

I’m easy and just want to agree on this so we can be clear what tag is what.

Docker tradition is to have latest point to unstable things. Using “latest” is usually equivalent of not pinning dependencies of the environment which is a generally discouraged practice in software development and deployment world. Whatever we choose we should clearly state that it’s recommended to point to a numeric version whenever using the image for anything other than experimenting. But pointing latest to stable we’d kinda encourage people to use it which is not kind of messaging I’d like to see.
