Hi All, As discussed in these threads [1] and [2], we suggest to unify the docker topic in Flink for users [3].
This mainly means refactoring of the existing code and introducing more docs as a first step. The effort should enable further improvements and follow-ups for the docker integration with Flink. The integration with docker in Flink is currently addressed in many places which often intersect, repeat each other or apply different approaches. This makes it really hard to follow the whole topic for users and maintainers. This FLIP suggests how to unify this topic. It means having one place which has the *Dockerfile*, all necessary scripts and docs following each other in a consistent way without any repetitions or contradictions. The idea is to keep all docker related resources in apache/flink-docker <https://github.com/apache/flink-docker>. It already has a detailed Dockerfile which is well suited for common use cases or at least serves as a good starting point. The suggestion is to make it extensible for other concerns which are currently addressed in other places. Best, Andrey [1] http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/DISCUSS-FLIP-111-Docker-image-unification-td38444.html#a39822 [2] http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/DISCUSS-FLIP-111-Docker-image-unification-td38444i20.html#a39950 [3] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-111%3A+Docker+image+unification
