Hi devs, I’ve now created the JIRA issues related to this: * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14930 (Generate and distribute official Docker images) * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14929 (Run functional tests inside Docker containers)
Please confirm that you’re ok with the approach. I’m going to commit what I currently have in a feature branch.
