Docker Images for the mldonkey Service
This is a summary of available images for the mldonkey service: https://hub.docker.com/r/carlonluca/mldonkey.
The version of mldonkey used in the images is the one reported in the “mldonkey version” column. It points to a fork of the official repo. Inside the docker image, I also started to include mldonkey-next, which is a websocket interface to the mldonkey core with a new client written in Angular.
These types of images are available:
- images only including mldonkey verion: these are taken from a mldonkey fork, including minor improvements over the official version. You can find out what was applied to these versions looking at the git history.
- dev images: these include mldonkey-next and other improvements over the official mldonkey version.
- exp images: these are experimental versions, with untested developments. I suggest you ignore these.
This is a partial list of the images available. Only images with relevant changes are listed.
