alt Hacker NewsThe "official" PHP Docker images turned out to be a shit show tody. Seems like many maintainers fell for it and published updates that aren't really updates.
I'm currently waiting for a new docker image for another project, and their maintainer noticed the old PHP versions in the freshly built images and is still waiting or working on releasing a new container build.

Fully agree. Moved to FrankenPHP's static build (which was ready very quickly) to get away from it. Don't intend to ever use the "official" images again.

There is nothing official about these images.
"Let's use this packaging some rando on the Internet built" is a strategy that is exactly as good as it seems, but that's the Docker ecosystem for you.
Packagers who actually understand the software put in good work to package that software in small and well maintained packages. Use them instead!
