Hi community,

we are currently using the mender docker container to convert our debian images so they use mender. Everything works fine but in the process of creating reproducible builds it’s a bit cumersome to download a certian version of the docker container and also all of the source code. Thinking about it, the following actions would remove the issue:

- Embed the mender-convert sources into the docker container
- Publish the docker container to docker Hub
- Make sure the docker containers are tagged in the same way as mender-convert is tagged in the repository.

I am willing to move mender-convert into this direction. Are there others that might jump aboard?

Regards, Simon

I would have to say…ABSOLUTELY! In my opinion, this would definitely be an excellent improvement. I’ll stop talking now because otherwise, I’ll probably start ranting about other things.
