I’m very new to Robot Framework and this forum. So I hope that this is the right category for my question.

While looking for official Docker images to run Robot Framework, I had a look at Docker Hub and found this one: [robotframework/rfdocker](https://hub.docker.com/r/robotframework/rfdocker). However, this was updated 3 years ago and I’m not sure if it is still supported.

Is there another place for official Docker images?

I couldn’t find any Docker images for Robot Framework. So I start my projects with a Python image. Something like:

```
FROM python:3
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD ["robot", "my_tests/my_test.robot"]

```

neither of these are mine, but here are a couple I found in my travels

- [ppodgorsek/docker-robot-framework - GitHub](https://github.com/ppodgorsek/docker-robot-framework)
- [GitHub - semutmerah/docker-robotframework: Dockerized Robot Framework …](https://github.com/semutmerah/docker-robotframework)

They might be helpful.

I personally would choose a Docker image with the desired Python version and go from there. RF is just a Python package, just like all the libraries you use. Like any Python package, you should pin the desired version range (or use poetry or similar dependency resolving / pinning).
