From 514a4eff36a02976580965b26088e2366734da35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Brian D. Evans" Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 00:32:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs(simplex): remove broken Docker install command (#26974) (#26975) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * docs(simplex): remove broken Docker install command (#26974) The "Or Docker" snippet pointed at `simplexchat/simplex-chat`, which is not a published Docker Hub image. Users following the docs hit: docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for simplexchat/simplex-chat, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'. The SimpleX Chat project only publishes Docker images for its server components (smp-server, xftp-server) — the chat CLI is distributed as a binary release. Drop the broken `docker run` line and keep the verified binary-download path, with a note pointing users to the upstream Dockerfile if they want to build a container themselves. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) * docs(simplex): drop misleading "Dockerfile" link text Copilot review flagged that the link text claimed "Dockerfile in the upstream repo" but the URL pointed at the repository root, not a specific Dockerfile path. Reword to "build from source from the simplex-chat repository" so the link text and target match.
