My docker images were becoming a little bit of a mess lately so I decided to clean out the fridge and purge everything to let it rebuild from scratch.  I executed:

docker system prune -a
docker volume prune
docker network prune

…just to make sure I was starting from scratch.  Next I went into one of my current projects that uses the Adobe ColdFusion Docker images and ran:

docker-compose up -d

Finally, I navigated to https://127.0.0.1:8500 and saw an error I wasn’t quite expecting.

After several expletives and asking myself “what fresh hell is this?” I clued in… the “latest” version of the Adobe ColdFusion Docker images must have been updated to ColdFusion 2021, where mail functionality isn’t installed by default!  I double checked my docker-compose.yml file and sure enough it contains a line that reads:

image: eaps-docker-coldfusion.bintray.io/cf/coldfusion:latest

This means that when I refreshed, it pulled CF2021.  So just a heads up… they’ve been updated.
