It seems as the [thetorproject/webtunnel-bridge - Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/thetorproject/webtunnel-bridge) 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 Running unmaintained/outdated software on the internet worries me a bit.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 Currently my bridges are shown as outdated due to the old tor version.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:
> **[Tor Project | Compile and run WebTunnel from the source](https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/webtunnel/source/)**
>
> Defend yourself against tracking and surveillance. Circumvent censorship. | Compile and run WebTunnel from the source
Also remember to install Tor following this guide:
> **[Installation](https://support.torproject.org/little-t-tor/getting-started/installing/)**
>
> These instructions are meant for installing tor the network daemon i.e. little-t tor. For instructions to install Tor Browser, refer to the Tor Browser user manual.
