Inquiry on the Future Direction of Freenginx

Thank you for developing Freenginx. I have some questions about its
future direction.

Do you want developers who currently use Nginx to switch to Freenginx?

If so, I believe the following features are necessary:

* Compelling features that encourage developers to choose Freenginx
* A Docker image

Many developers are satisfied with Nginx, so Freenginx needs features
that stand out. For example, I would be interested in a feature that
updates upstream via DNS. While this is possible with variables, it
doesn't support keepalive connections with upstream. If Freenginx
could offer this feature, many developers might choose it.

Additionally, many developers, including myself, use Docker images.
Since there is no Docker image for Freenginx, it’s not currently an
option for us.

So, if Freenginx has compelling features and a Docker image, I believe
many developers would choose it. Is this something you want?

I apologize, but I am not very familiar with Freenginx's source code.
However, I am a maintainer of
https://github.com/cubicdaiya/nginx-build and might be able to help if
there are not enough resources to create a Docker image.
