https://store.docker.com/images/clojure?tab=description Official tools-deps based clojure docker image is released. docker run -ti --rm clojure:tools-deps clojure

Very interesting!

In what way is it official?

https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_repos/

official by docker

Hrm. Seems odd Docker would create an official thing using clojure as its name. (I admittedly don't understand the bigger picture.)

I think it's existed for a while as a leiningen image?

yes, it is. And another for boot as well. And official means that this image is served from the official docker registry and curated by docker maintainers how suppose to take care about upgrading software inside of the image
