Docker image updates and versioning

[Guiorgy]

Though there have been a few releases on github lately, the latest tag on DockerHub still sits at Last pushed 3 years ago by lazyteam. What is the update plan for the Docker image?

Also, I tried to determine which version/commit the Docker image contains, however the two methods below both failed:

$ docker exec -it LazyDocker /bin/lazydocker --version
Version:
Date:
BuildSource: Docker
Commit:
OS: linux
Arch: amd64

$ docker inspect lazyteam/lazydocker
...
            "Labels": {
                "org.opencontainers.image.authors": "jessedduffield@gmail.com",
                "org.opencontainers.image.created": "",
                "org.opencontainers.image.description": "The lazier way to manage everything docker",
                "org.opencontainers.image.documentation": "https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker",
                "org.opencontainers.image.revision": "",
                "org.opencontainers.image.source": "https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker",
                "org.opencontainers.image.title": "lazydocker",
                "org.opencontainers.image.url": "https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker",
                "org.opencontainers.image.version": ""
            }
...

In both cases, the version and date fields were empty. Is this intentional? Is there another way to query the version of lazydocker?

I checked the Dockerfile and found that the version is passed as a custom parameter. Perhaps when building the image, you need to specify the version information for the current image being built using docker build --build-arg

@MycatQieZi The README has the following in the instructions for building a docker image manually: ... --build-arg VERSION=`git describe --abbrev=0 --tag` .... This does result in the following (PS. date still seems broken?):

docker exec -it LazyDocker /bin/lazydocker --version
Version: v0.24.1
Date:
BuildSource: Docker
Commit: bedde4a
OS: linux
Arch: amd64

However, this wasn't the point. The README also makes it seem that a docker image should only be built if you are considering contributing, otherwise you should use the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub:

Run the container:

[Instructions on running the container with the image from Docker Hub]

For development, you can build the image using:

[Instructions on building an image yourself]

However, the image on Docker Hub is extremely old, and that image hasn't had the version/date arguments properly passed when built. Was this a mistake, or will all official images not have those fields filled? This is the main point.
