Is it only me, or is the support for Docker in Flink really cr*p? Or rather, no "official" images for either the Flink SQL Client or the SQL Gateway.

Sure, you can build it via Dockerfiles, but it is very much hit-and-miss / trial and error. I still haven't managed to build a usable image for the Flink SQL Gateway (based on Flink 1.16).
