[glassfish-dev] Glassfish Jakarta EE9 - No Docker images!?

[Ralph Soika <ralph.soika@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I wonder why there is no Docker image for Glassfish available? Docker makes it more convenient for users to get started. The official Docker repo is totally outdated (https://hub.docker.com/_/glassfish).

Ok, there are Jakarta EE8 images from Payara and Wildfly available, but still only for Jakarta 8 and nothing working with Jakarta EE9 (including JAX-RS and EJBs)

    Within the Eclipse Jakarta EE project ther is one version after the
    other being discussed - we are already at Jakarta EE 10 - but there
    is still no official server for Jakarta EE9 available. If Payara and
    Wildfly are for what reason ever not allowed to publish Jakarta EE9
    Severs on Docker Hub than at least a Glassfish Server would be
    great.

If you want to start a new Project with Jakarta EE9 you have no official Docker Image at all. Why?? It looks like the community wants to do everything to ensure that Jakarta 9 does not establish itself as a new platform.

What is your opinion about this situation?

p.s:

The only way I solved this for my current dev project, is building my own Jakarta EE9 Docker image by downloading the wildfly-preview-26.0.0.Final :
