⁠articulate/node vs articulate/articulate-node

articulate/articulate-node are the legacy Docker images. Those ran as root and include software not always needed. Use articulate/node where possible and install your own software with install_packages.

⁠Creating a new image

The easiest way to create a new image is to copy an existing one and change the base image. If creating from scratch, the images need the following:

• Everything listed in What's included⁠
• make for internal tooling.
• A service user and group with a GID and UID of 1001. This should be the default user.
• A /service directory as the default working directory.
