> One of the benefits of Litestream 0.5.0 is that there’s now an official litestream Docker image. All of my previous Docker containers required a lot of boilerplate to download the correct version of Litestream and make it available in my container, but now it reduces to a single Dockerfile line

There’s been an official Litestream container image for over 3 years at this point (since version 0.3.4, it’s at the same Docker Hub as 0.5.0).

Oh, thanks for the correction! I can't believe I never noticed that. I've updated the post.

After your comment, I thought, "Oh, I should contribute a PR to the repo to add the Docker badge so the Docker image is obvious to everyone," but it turns out the badge has been right there for four years.[0]

What I suspect happened is that I tried to use the Litestream Docker image once, discovered that image was amd64-only (until 0.3.9), so I didn't use it because I needed ARM, and then I just kept copy/pasting my workaround from project to project.
