Thread: Docker images on download page?

Hi us ;),

Looking through our Downloads page, there doesn't appear
to be a super obvious "Docker" image to point people at.

eg, the OS list has:

   * Linux
   * macOS
   * Windows
   * BSD
   * Solaris

Should we add Docker there too (with useful info), as it's
kind of OS agnostic?

Or am I just not noticing something obvious? :)

For reference, there are PG docker images which seem to be
well regarded (AFAIK):

   https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres

There is a "Sponsored Resources" section on the page that gives me cause 
for pause. I don't believe any of the other download pages that we link 
to offsite include 3rd party sponsored resources.

I think this also goes back to the open question of adding the AIX 
downloads and setting up some evaluation criteria of what we look for if 
we're linking offsite for "official" Postgres downloads.

Thanks,
