⁠How to test drive MH?

To test drive the docker image, clone the msghandler-docker⁠ repository on Github and

cd .../msghandler-docker
docker compose up -d

The MH container will start up. All files and directories it needs are located underneath the directory host-folders.

Use the configuration and directory structure underneath the directory host-folders as a model for your own deployments.

⁠Docker hub tags

⁠Why does the tag latest not exist?

In the Docker world, the special tag latest usually points to the latest image for a container. It can be dangerous to use this tag, as it references different versions of the container over time that may not be compatible. Using the latest tag can lead to unpredictable behaviour. For this reason, we avoid using the latest tag. For more about the different versions and tags of the Docker image, see above.
