Versioning

[gilesknap]

The current approach to versioning is missing:

• any way to tell which container version you have since it is tagged latest
• any way to tell which launcher version you have
• any way to tie launcher and container together
  • suggestion: make the launcher with embedded version and publish as a release Asset

[gilesknap]

If the launcher has its version embedded then it could also pull specific versions of the container image.

Downsides

• users have to explicitly pull a new launcher to get a new image
• historical image versions will clogg up the cache

any way to tell which container version you have since it is tagged latest

Can't an image have multiple tags? i.e. the version and also latest?

[gilesknap]

@aawdls yes but once you pull 'latest' to your local cache there is no easy way to tell which latest it was!

I've implemented a release asset for the script that defaults to its associated version of the image. Updated the quick start to reflect this.

Todo: I could add a feature to the script to flush old image versions out if local cache.
