• Drag & drop images → instant IIIF Image Service

Quick Q to the #IIIF community: if I want to set up #Cantaloupe, quick & painless via Docker, what's the recommended image?

I've been using `uclalibrary/cantaloupe`. It's working great – I just want to make sure there are no other images I should be aware of that might be more recommended.
