   Using a third party is an unacceptable solution in contexts where container security is taken into account. Please provide official images for official tools.

   For now, we’ve opted to build and host our own non-root image in our private registry.

   Since version v1.7.0 (released in June 2024), Docker images are no longer published in the GitHub releases. As a result, the latest available official container image is now over a year old.

   This was previously addressed in #153, but it seems the release process has since been reverted, and no recent builds are available.

   Here’s the Dockerfile we’re using to build a minimal, non-root container based on the latest tag:

   FROM golang:1 AS builder
   RUN git clone https://github.com/microsoft/go-sqlcmd.git && \
       cd go-sqlcmd && \
       git checkout $(git tag --sort=version:refname | tail -n 1) && \
       CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build \
           -o /sqlcmd \
           -ldflags="-X main.version=$(git tag --sort=version:refname | tail -n 1)" \
           ./cmd/modern
   
   FROM gcr.io/distroless/static:nonroot
   COPY --from=builder /sqlcmd /sqlcmd
   USER 1002
   ENTRYPOINT ["/sqlcmd"]

   We hope this helps others with similar needs until official container builds are available again.
