CustomQueries block in valkyrie initializer generator causing problems.
1. Randall: Doesn’t agree with new autoloading.
2. Tracy: Where should those changes go?
3. Daniel: I think this was added as part of Freyja Frigg work
4. Rob: These CustomQueries need to be registered. Had issues with code reloading. Could add a guard if they don’t exist?
5. dassie/koppie have this in a to_prepare block, might be all this needs?
6. App generation needs more consistent and frequent testing.
Patrick: Are the docker images a better way to start hyrax?
1. hyrax-base image provides starting point, hyrax-dev image uses this to build dev images
2. The hyrax image will copy your hyrax code in, but still requires generation of a hyrax application.
3. hyrax/CONTAINERS.md at main · samvera/hyrax has old link to samveralabs docker hub
Chris Colvard autoloading PR
1. Rob: require causes reloading problems, this starts to address it. What is the status?
2. PR started as part of Ruby 3.3 updates. Pivoted to using Rails 6.1 loading style for now.
3. Will be updated in future, probably Hyrax 6?
Debian based image
1. Created for hyku, build times reduced, further size reduction possible
2. Difficult to get a proper ImageMagick install that handles various edge cases
  1. Notch8 putting together document of sample images
3. Need to rework use of unmaintained dory
4. Daniel: Still planning to convert hyrax to debian base soon.
