Docker Engine Client and Docker Compose Version Stagnated

[mikehosmar]

Description

The Docker client version and Compose plugin are out of date by over a year compared to the apt source. What is the update procedure? Do you rebuild the base image when releasing?

👟 Reproduction steps

Fresh launch based on standard compose file.

👀 Expected behavior

The version of docker-ce-cli and docker-compose-plugin are the available release to corresponding to the date of the Dockge release. Below is what I observed running apt update && apt upgrade in the image.

 Version:           27.4.1
 API version:       1.46 (downgraded from 1.47)

I miss-read the release date for 1.4.2 . The versions are more reasonable based on this. But I still wonder if the docker images should be re built periodically to update docker and possibly more upstream depends.

I could create a feature request to add this. I wouldn't mind setting up CI to just build monthly.

And now my arc is complete. I have just discovered the nightly tag. This will do what I need. I do wonder if there is room to rebuild standard releases for those who don't want everything that comes with a nightly build.

Thanks for this @mikehosmar - I was having similar issues per #520. I agree that updating the docker toolsets more frequently would be a good enhancement.

for a quick and dirty workaround, you can just exec into the container and apt update + apt upgrade. it will reset after a restart but good enough imo

update: probably can be closed since 1.5.0 was released?
