QGIS 2.18 wont start

[Inkimar]

Hi!

Wanting to run the 2.18 version.

This is my docker-compose

db:
  image: kartoza/postgis:9.4-2.1
  environment:
    - USERNAME=docker
    - PASS=docker

qgisdesktop:
  image: kartoza/qgis-desktop:2.18
  hostname: qgis-server
  volumes:
    # Wherever you want to mount your data from
    - ./gis:/gis
    # Unix socket for X11
    - /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
  links:
    - db:db
  environment: 
    - DISPLAY=unix:1
  command: /usr/bin/qgis

Getting this error from the qgisdesktop

This repo is deprecated and not maintained. @timlinux or @mazano should be able to recommend what to use instead (and put a deprecation notice in this repo)

Thanks for the info @gubuntu , I hope that @timlinux can help me out here. Is there some other way to get the 2.18 version started - either on my Ubuntu 19 or older or in a Docker instance - I mailed the instructor for the course (at a Swedish Uni) and he is interested in getting this Runnig on Linux (He said that he installed Ubuntu), that wold be great if he got up to speed and suggested his pupils to turn to Linux/Ubuntu.

best, i
