Docker

[!NOTE]
The Docker image tagging scheme for stable releases was changed from :latest to :release as of March 2024 (#970, #1012)

A Docker image with the latest stable release is provided at ghcr.io/isso-comments/isso:release, while isso:latest is rebuilt on every push to the master branch. See Using Docker.

The maintainers recommend pinning the image to a release tag, e.g. isso:0.13.0.
