-------------------------------------------

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to have an officially blessed docker image that can serve as a good starting point for ActiveMQ Artemis deployments via Docker or within a Kubernetes cluster. Some reasons why:
 * Save every user of ActiveMQ in a Docker/Kubernetes environment from having to perform the same work of packaging ActiveMQ into a Docker image
 * Chance to provide a default configuration for Docker deployments that establishes what ActiveMQ developers consider "best practice"
 * The Dockerfile and default configuration can serve as documentation as to what exactly is needed to run an ActiveMQ Artemis instance (even if the user ultimately doesn't target Docker)
 * Can make it easier to incorporate ActiveMQ into local development and continuous integration workflows, especially for non-Java clients (where "just running an embedded instance" is not a straightforward alternative)
 * Catch-up with other messaging middleware solutions that appear more "cloud-ready"
 * The "empty" entry on Docker hub looks a bit weird: [https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/activemq-artemis/]

This ActiveMQ Artemis docker image [https://github.com/vromero/activemq-artemis-docker] by Victor Romero could serve as a basis/starting point. The only thing it lacks, in my opinion, is an official blessing and the accompanying commitment to keep it maintained.


Beyond that, I wish there was an official high quality, HA- and clustering-enabled deployment template for Kubernetes, but thats beyond the scope of this ticket.
