[digiKam-users] Nightly builds / docker image?

[Simon Frei]

For production?! The problem with weekly snapshots is that they are just
that: snapshots. This means the exact commit is not specially chosen, so
the chance for brokenness is much higher than on actual releases. If you
do use them in production, make sure to have a tight backup schedule
(and proven that restoring works). As for notification: Setup any weekly
reminder and you're set.
