Tags for major versions #333

Closed linus-ha closed 2 years ago

linus-ha commented 3 years ago

Please add image tags for major versions like: openhab:2, openhab:3, openhab:2-alpine ...

Would be great for the transition from openHAB v2 to v3.

I wouldn't use any rolling tag in production, knowing that OH may introduce major breaking changes at any time in newer 2.x (or 3.x) releases. :wink:

I still don't think it is a good idea to use rolling tags for major release versions in production.

Why is that the case? If semantic versioning is used I see no problem there. In particular versions that only differ in 'patch' should not be incompatible. Currently I have to pull the docker hub to see if there is a new version of the openhab images. If you would provide images with tags e.g. openhab:4 or openhab:4.0 a watchtower instance could simply notify me about a new version or even update it by itself.

I still don't think it is a good idea to use rolling tags for major release versions in production.

I would also never use rolling major tags for production, but like it is now you aren't even allowing rolling minor or patch updates.
