Improve documentation, tagging, versions etc. about docker-xampp HOT 4 OPEN

My school for example uses xampp to teach working with SQL databases and programming with php.

That's an excellent use case for this image, thanks for telling me all this! Your text inspired me to add some points in my to-do list above 👍

So thanks for saving me (and potentially my classmates) some time!

If you or your classmates have any questions about the setup, feel free to create an issue in this repo, I'll try to help if I can.

I specified port 80 (this is JSON array of one element), but it seams not working (if even should, I don't know).

Oh, I was wrong. There are no problems with ports.

Since VS Code creates dev container based on image, it does not exec last CMD from Dockerfile, so in my case servers were not started.

I added startup.sh command into devcontainer.json:

// Use 'postCreateCommand' to run commands after the container is created.
"postCreateCommand": "sh /startup.sh",

All settled!

Anyone who doesn't want or cannot work on those school computers needs some method to use the software on their own hardware and it is much easier to just pull and use one already configured image that's pretty much plug-and-play instead of messing around with three or more containers and getting them to behave, especially for people with less experience using docker or setting up servers.

This has become even more important with school in my country having gone into homeschooling-mode due to the pandemic.

Besides that your image is one of the more often updated ones out there, which makes it seem likely for your version to be the most up-to-date one.

BTW, how to use xampp docker image with VS Code Remote Containers feature? More specific - how to bind ports.

In VS Code's devcontainer.json there is a directive:

// Use 'forwardPorts' to make a list of ports inside the container available locally.
"forwardPorts": [80],

I specified port 80 (this is JSON array of one element), but it seams not working (if even should, I don't know).
