Seems like we might be having an issue here in terms of semver compliance of docker tags :

After the image name, the optional TAG is a custom, human-readable manifest identifier that's typically a specific version or variant of an image. The tag must be valid ASCII and can contain lowercase and uppercase letters, digits, underscores, periods, and hyphens. It can't start with a period or hyphen and must be no longer than 128 characters. If you don't specify a tag, the command uses latest by default.

Ah completely forgot about this limitation 😞

Ok, so until we get any news from those, we can use this but with a hyphen instead of a plus ? kinda breaks readability of semver but what can we do ? Use another letter/keyword ? An underscore maybe ?

docker/cli#4877
distribution/distribution#1201
opencontainers/distribution-spec#154

but with a hyphen instead of a plus ? kinda breaks readability of semver but what can we do ?

Don't think we have much choice atm than waiting. Hyphens are specially treated by semver spec to handle prerelease. That would break versioning. Feel free to put this PR in draft or close it in the meantime but we can keep the issue opened for tracking.
