OSI approved Docker image for ES 8+

Elastic Search
1

Hi, we're looking to build our own OSS Docker image since Elasticsearch v8+ onward, Elastic has discontinued the elasticsearch-oss Docker images that were previously available for those of us who needed to use an Apache 2.0/AGPL compatible version of Elasticsearch.
We noticed that this depends on OSS binaries for Elasticsearch itself.

Could anyone point us in the right direction on:

  1. Building ES from source — Are there official or community-maintained instructions for compiling an open-source build of Elasticsearch v8.x from the elastic/elasticsearch GitHub repo?

  2. Existing OSS Docker image efforts — Has anyone in the community already tackled this? Are there maintained Dockerfiles or repos that build an OSS-equivalent image for ES v8+?

We'd love to avoid reinventing the wheel here. Any pointers to docs, GitHub issues, community projects, or blog posts would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance
