Which DSpace Docker container is officially endorsed by the DSpace community?

Question

The Docker hub contains a number of DSpace Docker containers:

https://hub.docker.com/search/?q=DSpace&page=1&isAutomated=0&isOfficial=0&pullCount=0&starCount=0

I personally only have experience with https://hub.docker.com/r/quantumobject/docker-dspace/

Likes

• Create administrator is according to the instructions the only command line action that needs to happen after deployment
• It runs DSpace 5.3, the latest official stable release of DSpace
• runs Java 7 instead of Java 8 (which is not fully tested with DSpace yet)

Dislikes

• There's an issue with postgres, reported as closed on https://github.com/QuantumObject/docker-dspace/issues/2 but I still encountered it
• It can't run on a 1GB AWS instance, because it deploys both the XMLUI as well as the JSPUI
• It runs Tomcat 8 instead of Tomcat 7
• It seems to be on Ubuntu 15 instead of Ubuntu 14 LTS (probably more of a personal preference)

Don't get me wrong - I love the work done by this contributor, but I was wondering if there is a reference implementation out there, or if this one could serve as a reference implementation.

The repository https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images details the DSpace docker images created and supported by the project.

Each supported branch of DSpace now has one or more Dockerfiles for each branch.
