hashicorp/consul repository overview

⁠Consul Official Image Build

There are several pieces that are used to build this image:

• We start with an Alpine base image and add CA certificates in order to reach the HashiCorp releases server. These are useful to leave in the image so that the container can access Atlas features as well.
• Official HashiCorp builds of some base utilities are then included in the image by pulling a release of docker-base. This includes dumb-init and gosu. See https://github.com/hashicorp/docker-base⁠ for more details.
• Finally a specific Consul build is fetched and the rest of the Consul-specific configuration happens according to the Dockerfile.

⁠Official Image Deprecation Notice

Upcoming in Consul 1.16, we will stop publishing official Dockerhub images and publish only our Verified Publisher images. Users of Docker images should pull from "hashicorp/consul" instead of "consul". Verified Publisher images can be found at https://hub.docker.com/r/hashicorp/consul⁠.
