Update Python image on Dockerhub

[ralienpp]

I use OQS in a project with Python and I was wondering whether the image could be updated (the page says it is discontinued, but encourages visitors to raise this point here).

Right now we have a CI pipeline that builds it in accordance with our needs, but it would simplify matters if we could use an image provided by the development team.

Hi @ralienpp, thanks for the question. Does your build rely on the OpenSSL 1.1.1 fork or the OpenSSL 3 provider?

[ralienpp]

We rely on the OpenSSL 3 provider.

Good to know there is some interest in this. Would you be interested contributing your build as an updated Dockerfile, e.g./i.e., here? But of course, we could also add it as another demo...

I think there's nothing wrong with what you already have. My wish is to update the image on Dockerhub, using the recipe you already have, but with a new version of liboqs and liboqs-python.

Our Dockerfile doesn't use Alpine, but Ubuntu; and it is much simpler:

FROM ubuntu:22.04

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip openssl libssl-dev cmake git && \
    apt-get clean

# Build and install liboqs-python
RUN git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs-python && \
    cd liboqs-python && \
    pip install .

If you're referring to https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs-python/blob/main/docker/Dockerfile (?) there is something wrong imo (outdated, rather): It's not based on oqsprovider but the discontinued oqs-openssl111 fork.
