Research direction

Review #32 and #41, then inspect the Docker Hub description and currently published tags, especially latest. Confirm the intended handling of existing tags before making changes; the issue is done when Docker Hub’s description and tag state match the agreed direction without misleading users.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since #32 was merged the tags on docker hub have not been updated. I've opened #41 to update the readme here, but that does not change anything for people using the hub directly.

Should the description there be updated to point users to github and/or remove the tags to make it painfully obvious.
Removing the tags probably will break some builds, as some tags are still pulled. At time of writing latest was last pulled only 3 hours ago.
