Cool--I'll try it as soon as I can. I have my own BaseX-based container with a custom Web app working now, but based on my own small mod of an earlier Dockerfile. Looks like this version addresses the issue I had (creating volumes in the base container made it impossible to add repos or webapps in using Dockerfiles).

Dear BaseX community,
over the last weeks, interest in Docker utilization with BaseX hevily increased, and several images have been proposed. I've already made some experience running a BaseX pet project in BaseX for about a year now, and together with the BaseX core team created an image based on those experiences and current best practices.
basex/basexhttp Docker Image
Finally there's the official basex/basexhttp Docker image readily available on the Docker Hub. It's an automated build directly from source, with nightly builds and tagged builds for future BaseX releases (starting with 8.4.1/8.5, whatever will come first). It is derived from the Maven base image (and thus Debian), and is automatically updated when the base images experience updates (like Java security fixes).
While the image is named basexhttp and always includes the HTTP server, it can also be used for running the plain basexserver or even basexclient.
DBA Application Container
As an example for deriving your own application images and also for interfacing BaseX for administrative tasks and ad-hoc queries, the DBA is also made available as a container.

Documentation
As you're used to, documentation is available in the BaseX wiki.
If you've got any feedback, questions or proposals, feel free to get in touch with me or the core BaseX team on the usual ways.
Kind regards from Lake Constance, Germany, Jens
