Which Docker-image can I trust

1

If we want to augment the usage of tiddlywiki docker certainly is a valuable tool because it could furnish a safe way to install TW5 which would be easy to newbies.

Docker could fit the demands of TW5 perfectly.

And looking at the Docker-Hub plenty of people had that idea. Counting today there are 163 (!) hits if you search TW in the Docker-Hub.

Unfortunately there is no official image and no image by a verified publisher… and it is not recommended to install any unknown repo because you might install a hidden crypto-harvester oer whatever. So it woul be a great idea to try to find out what images are reliable and efficient and try to get them verified.

Is anyone arround here who is the creator of one of these images?

There is a pending PR at GitHub: Add Docker support with docker-compose and automated release workflow by NotHimmel · Pull Request #9753 · TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub

This one looks good, but is not published, nor merge at the moment.

I used the one from NicolaW for quite awhile. I assume she must lurk here sometimes.

It has 500k downloads (so hopefully someone would have noticed crypto-harvester’s by now), is well documented, and is updated through TW 5.3.36. Oh, she has her own web presence written in TiddlyWiki! How cool is that!

ElasticDog has a million downloads, but stops at 5.1.23.

Most of the others appear to be private experiments, lacking documentation – not even a version number.

Hi @Mark_S thank you!

Is there good Docker-MWS Edition arround?
