Versions sunsetting policy, experimental and discontinued support

Supported, Experimental and Discontinued images

This tool makes you able to build thousands of images combinations for 5 applications with 2 editions each, for now 6 PHP versions, having each 6 flavors.

This lot of combinations makes the image building process very time-consuming and requires us to focus on the most used combinations. Thereof we will mark in the following chapter the status of the support of the images.

• ✅ available: This image is fully supported and automatically built by the CI before being pushed to Docker Hub
• ❌ no support: The kloud image:build command will not make you able to build this combination, probably because the application version is not compatible with the PHP matching version.
• 🌅️ discontinued: This version can be built by the kloud image:build command, but it is not maintained anymore and not automatically built and pushed to Docker Hub. You will need to build this image yourself on your environments.
• ⚠️ experimental: This version can be built by the kloud image:build command, but it is not officially supportted by the application. Use at your own risk. You will be required to add option --with-experimental in order to activate this version combination

Versions Sunsetting Policy

In order to maintain only the most used versions combinations, we wil ensure the images automatic building will be supported for a 24 months after the initial release.

Therefore, the following policy will be applied on all images builds:
