The Docker builds for this release are available as of yesterday. To
install 1.5.7 specifically, run the command:


$ docker pull ledgersmb/ledgersmb:1.5.7


The team is proud to announce a tremendous size optimization of the docker
image as of this release: the 1.5.6 release was reported to be "1GB" on
Docker Hub, the 1.5.7 size is now only 289MB(!). Similar size savings have
been achieved for the installed images: where Docker was reporting 2.2GB
"virtual size" for 1.5.6, it is now reporting only 718MB(!) for 1.5.7.

Please note that the LedgerSMB functionality provided by the container has
*not* changed; the size reduction has been achieved by reducing the number
of dependencies(-of-dependencies) that Debian automatically installs when
installing LedgerSMB's dependencies. Also, a different container has been
chosen to bootstrap the container from (we have switched from Perl:5 to
Debian:Jessie).


The team hopes that the size reduction makes the Docker container
attractive as an alternative to (distribution-)package-based installations.


Kind regards,


Erik.
