The documentation regarding Docker is inconsistent and outdated

[glibg10b]

• https://cloud.zoneminder.com/downloads.html doesn't list Docker as one of the installation options.
• https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installationguide/easydocker.html recommends dlandon's containers as "an easy to use Docker image", but they have been deprecated for 3 years.
• The README of this repository links to https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zmdockerfiles saying that "Our Dockerfile has moved". However, the README of that repository provides different instructions for running that docker image on CentOS versus Ubuntu, and no instructions for other distros. I tried the Ubuntu instructions on Gentoo and got a bunch of errors in the log. The associated Docker Hub repository also hasn't been updated in over 3 years.

The documentation is inconsistent and outdated and wastes the time of anyone who tries to pursue running ZoneMinder in Docker.

I use docker and have previously run https://github.com/jantman/docker-zoneminder (jantman/docker-zoneminder:latest)
But I got a security varning from my security software so I made a fork of Jantmans repo and use the dev-branch (zmrepo) until the other image is updated.
(tegtomasw/zoneminder-latest:latest)

Wow, that one works great. Not a single fatal error in the log. And despite being a personal project and "not supported" by the owner, it contains plenty of documentation and a docker-compose file that ships with a database service.

I hope this can be mentioned in all three pieces of documentation, so others don't have to go through what I (and presumably you) had to go through.

Jantmans image is mentioned in the forum a few times. Yes, I like the simplicity of it and it has worked well over the last year for me.

https://github.com/zoneminder-containers/zoneminder-base is another good one, but it's author doesn't actually use it or run zoneminder. Wwe use it for demo.zoneminder.com though.

Look, someone needs to be the docker maintainer, because it isn't going to be me. Everyone seems to want to do their dockers different ways.
