-The accompanying [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) can be used to build a Docker image containing the veraPDF CLI and GUI applications. The image is based on the official Alpine image. It effedoesn't build the project, instead it downloads a version of the installer. It also builds a slimline JRE which is used to trim the final image size.

-The version built is controlled by two arguments in the Dockerfile, `VERAPDF_VERSION` and `VERAPDF_MINOR_VERSION`. These can be used to select a specific installer at invocation time. The default values are `VERAPDF_VERSION=1.27.0` and `VERAPDF_MINOR_VERSION=2`, which builds the latest production version, e.g. `1.26.2`.
