I'd say yes. And I assume (but please prove me wrong) that it's not
possible at Apache to publish an "official" one, only a "convenience"
image. But if we choose to go that way there are some open questions
that need to be clarified, like:
* The Docker images contain libraries that often are GPL licensed (GNU
libs, OpenJDK, etc.). Is it allowed to publish such an "convenience" image?
* We need to define and decide on an update process. The base Docker
images are updated more frequently than we release (especially security
updates). Do we need to update the images (e.g. a security patch in
OpenJDK)? Is this a manual process with voting or can an automatic build
be setup?

I created apachedirectory long time ago with the intention to use is for
testing only.

Meanwhile the ASF also allows to push Docker images to the "apache" repo
(https://hub.docker.com/u/apache/), but I don't know how that works and
what the preconditons are. If we consider to publish "convenience"
images I'd rather use that repo.

The openldap-for-apache-fortress-tests and
apacheds-for-apache-fortress-tests are made especially for Fortress
integration tests, source [1].

maven-build (source [2]) is used in Jenkins pipeline builds of LDAP API,
server, and studio. They contain all build and test tools required.

xvfb and studio-build are outdated, they were used for building and
testing Studio. I try to delete them.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
