Lack of interest Official Docker Images

Suggestion​

Xenforo.com provides access to private docker container registry with official XF docker images to licensed users, so that docker can be an installation option.

I've heard there's no official XF docker images due to the forum software requiring a license. This can be solved if XF hosts a private docker container registry with the official XF docker images authenticated by an access token attached to the license in the XF account. It would be no different than download the zip file as a logged in user.

This would be fantastic, a private registry that you could authenticate with your XenForo credentials sounds like a feasible solution. You could additionally pass in an environment variable with your API key.

As an alternative, you could even place a licensefile into the container using a volume.
So, no official docker images / docker-compose.yml ? :-(

Yes, or even more alternatively, they could provide a dockerfile or docker compose where it just takes in a xenforo forum zip as an asset. So the customer downloads the forum zip from their account page like normal, then plugs it into the dockerfile.

(They don't have to host a docker image, they can host the code that creates the docker image)
