Answer
- Use tags. Using
latest is quite common (which can mean latest build or latest release)
- tag like
3.1 can be used to reference the latest release/tag of the image like 3.1.6
- Don't use
commit for creating new official images as they include the overhead of logs and processes and usually end up with bigger images
- For sharing the image, use a registry (either a public or a private one, depends on your needs)
