Additional release with all plugins pre-installed? #1379

Description

@brocaar

I'm new to this project, so I'm sorry if I'm requesting something that has been previously discussed / considered and rejected.

At this moment, the pre-compiled binaries and Docker images do not contain any plugins. I think this is fine and helps to keep the binary small. However, would it be an idea to also provide pre-compiled binaries and Docker images that comes with all plugins pre-installed?

As far as I know, plugins have to be explicitly enabled through the admin interface, so this would mean there is no downside (apart from binary size) if not all of the plugins are used.

Of course there will be use-cases where somebody would like to use a plugin that is not listed in https://github.com/apache/answer-plugins, but I think for most users this would be really helpful and would save a lot of time. E.g. instead of apache/answer:latest, there could be a apache/answer-all-plugins:latest image.
