Docker container update

[chris-fp]

As this is a fork from the original, Do we know when/if this fork will get "containerised"?

@Mouton99 Thank you for your great work!
Any idea how to get rid of the annoying "update" message after each connect to Webinterface?

[Mouton99]

The version detection code from nzbget is broken in nzbget-ng I think, because of changes to autoconfigure.ac or something around that. It thinks the current version is 21.0.0, which I guess is the default it uses when it can't detect the correct version with whatever mechanism it (tries to) use.
I tried to fix it, but couldn't find how to.

@beertje44 managed it
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jb044/nzbget-ng/general

Could you maybe take over and merge to your image?

[Mouton99]

meh. This repo here will be archived soon. See https://www.reddit.com/r/nzbget/comments/18ywnrf/nzbgetngnzbget_will_be_merging_into/
Better to switch to the Docker image provided by nzbgetcom here.

'meh'?

I never said I'd be archiving nzbget-ng/nzbget, and certainly won't until I've made sure everything of value and still relevant has made it into nzbgetcom/nzbget. I hate seeing good work being dropped on the floor.

I'm in the process of moving all the issues and discussions in nzbget-ng/nzbget over to nzbgetcom/nzbget as we speak. I'll also be looking at those improvements in nzbget-ng that nzbgetcom hasn't already adopted, and making pull requests. No commitments on when though, due to the same problem I've been transparent about from the get-go - not enough time. I'm not a member of that repo either, so the final say over what is incorporated will be up to the maintainers of that repo.

For all the appreciation I have for hugbug and the large amount of time and effort he put into nzbget, I find it hard to understand why it was abandoned it so abruptly, and almost killing it by doing so. Baffling.

Transitions can be handled gracefully, and that's my goal. nzbget will finally be back in the hands of people who can dedicate enough time to do it justice.
