Lnd: Docker images are outdated on dockerhub.

[jlamur]

Currently the latest image on lightninglabs/lnd is the 0.4.1-beta commit=d0c0e5c7c256e430696d52ac6f6d67217a7d7652 build and there is no other tag on dockerhub.

@Roasbeef I'd like to write a helm chart for lnd, but I need an up to date lnd image first. Any chance you can update the images on dockerhub? They are currently ~8 months out of date.

I'm happy to help out in any way possible - just let me know.

[tdickman]

I went ahead and got v0.5.1-beta to build for me, and pushed up an image here. I'd love to get an official image built, but this will work for me for now.

I had to apply the following updates to v0.5.1-beta to get it to build:

I've come across this Today when moving lnd to a new machine.

https://hub.docker.com/r/lightninglabs/lnd

"A container image that packages the _latest_ release of lnd."

Despite the description, it's not the latest, it's 0.4.1. Although others have provided more up to date images, I'd feel more comfortable using an official source.

[rbrooklyn]

The version on docker hub has known security exploits and people can lose their money by running it:
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2019-September/002174.html

It's probably worth either deleting the version on hub.docker.com or updating it to 0.8.1.

[matthewlilley]

@rbrooklyn I personally brought this to their attention many months ago, but there seemed to be zero interest in acknowledging it, let alone fixing it.

[wpaulino]

Closing this as we don't plan to maintain an image on there and the account has now been deleted.

[tdickman]

Out of curiousity - what's the reasoning for not maintaining an image?
