Re: Docker Image Tags

Hi Garrett,

To go a bit more onto details, the tags usually are in the following 
form: james-project-3.x.x

List of tags here: https://github.com/apache/james-project/tags

Then you have branches with latest fixes on releases, but maybe not 
released yet (like 3.8.x for example).

The tags have the docker images uploaded on dockerhub. So:

james-project-3.8.0 -> latest release, so tags with latest and 3.8.0 
(jpa-3.8.0)

james-project-3.7.4 -> jpa-3.7.4

...

About how to compile it, well Tung gave the answer. There is a readme as 
well explaining that at the base of the jpa-app module where the docker 
image is being built with maven and JIB: 
https://github.com/apache/james-project/tree/master/server/apps/jpa-app

In your case to build it on your own though, I would suggest to checkout 
the branch with active fixes on it that you want (3.8.x or 3.7.x) and 
compile it yourself with instructions above.

Regards,

Rene.
