It seems as the thetorproject/webtunnel-bridge - Docker Image referenced in the docs has not been updated for four month. It contains an old tor version + libraries and appears to be generally rather unmaintained. It is also missing tags (just “latest”) and seems to be only manually updated. Should this image still be used? Is there a better way? Should the docs be updated? Running unmaintained/outdated software on the internet worries me a bit. Opinions?
The WebTunnel bridge hasn’t seen many updates, either. I think the docker image has the latest WebTunnel bridge software:

That is true but the image contains more than just the webtunnel transport. Maybe we should run a separate image just for the tor binary? Is that possible? Currently my bridges are shown as outdated due to the old tor version.
I don’t know if it’s possible to only use the container for the bridge binary. I think the next best way is by building WebTunnel bridge from source code following this guide:
Also remember to install Tor following this guide:
