But the automatic LMS deb package updates -inside- the container work
smoothly.  I don't really see the need to regularly update the whole
image, it defeats one of the advantages of containerisation.  

If you're worried about regular security/bug-fix updates for the
underlying OS components and perl libraries, etc, baked into an image,
it is possible to set up hooks to trigger automatic rebuilds on Docker
Hub when the base image or other dependencies change.  That's surely
needed for images of software liable to be used in very exposed
"production" environments (or built on rapidly changing foundations),
but it seems less critical for LMS.

Meanwhile I have just refreshed these bulky x86/Ubuntu docker images
at:

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/justifiably/logitechmediaserver

I've extended the documentation and added versions for 7.9.1, 7.9.2 and
an 8.0.0 beta release (the "latest" tag is 7.9.2).   I coincidentally
also modified the startup scripts to avoid the permissions problem
mentioned earlier in the thread, so the containers now work on first
start (previously, restarting the container would repair the ownership).
I'm happy if these are useful to some folk until there is an official
image, :)
