What image tag to use?

[Schwarzarbeit]

Hi all,

I was wondering what docker image tag I should use?

The readme states: "It is recommended to pin to the latest patch version (e.g. 1.6.0) and update the version manually (or using an automated process like Renovate."

But the most recent version here is "mazzolino/restic:1.7.2" which is from february 2024 and uses restic version 0.16.3. There are also images tagged with "pr-" for example "pr-227" which uses restic 0.18 and contain the lastest pull requests. So should we use those "pr-" tags or should we stick to the much older images using semantic versioning (e.g. mazzolino/restic:1.7.2)?
Generally I am unsure why there is such a version drift of restic between the images using sematic versioning and those from the pull requests.

The pr images are just for testing pull requests and not intended for general use. (That said, you could use them if you want.) So you should normally stick to the semantically versioned images.

I plead guilty for not releasing a new version though. Should've done that much earlier (but life..).

I will make a new (semantically tagged) release asap.

v1.8.0 has just been released!

Thanks for clarifying and creating a new release 😄
