Reproducibility and Versioning

All of the DeGAUSS containers, including degauss/geocoder are versioned for use and you can see the tags on the DockerHub and Quay.io repository pages (e.g. https://hub.docker.com/r/degauss/geocoder/tags/ or https://quay.io/repository/degauss/geocoder?tab=tags). The latest tag is an autogenerated tag that always points to the latest build. For example, when a user pulls or runs degauss/geocoder, Docker automatically uses the latest tag, degauss/geocoder:latest. It is possible to specify an older version by adding the tag onto the repo/image name, e.g. degauss/geocoder:v2.2.

In this case, the images are linked to the geocoder GitHub repository and are rebuilt on every push. Thus, the latest version always corresponds to the latest commit on GitHub. Furthermore, tagged images, e.g. v2.2, correspond to the tagged releases on GitHub.

The changes between versions can be reviewed on GitHub. For example, you can compare the changes between degauss/geocoder:latest and degauss/geocoder:v2.2.
