Hello folks, I have found a PR [1] that is about upgrading the base image to Centos 8 because the Centos 7 image has some reported vulnerabilities.
I believe that upgrading to Centos 8 could be fine, but it is not enough to cover this kind of problem. In the Apache Pulsar community we recently switched to Ubuntu [2] and we also added an automatic update of the system dependencies while building the image with (apt-get -y dist-upgrade). I propose to switch the base docker image to Ubuntu following Pulsar PR [2]. The only downside will be for users that are using the BK docker image as base image, as Ubuntu is very different from Centos and so consumers of the image will have to do some work while upgrading. Thoughts ? Enrico [1] https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/2756 [2] https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/11026
