Build an image from source

Docker images are not official ASF releases but provided for convenience. Recommended usage is always to build the source.

1. install release version (Apache releases are beginning from version 0.9):

   # Assign Apache release version number to variable `APISIX_VERSION`, for example: 2.2. The latest version can be find at `https://github.com/apache/apisix/releases`
   
   export APISIX_VERSION=2.9
   make build-on-alpine
   

2. install master branch version, which has latest code(ONLY for the developer's convenience):

   export APISIX_VERSION=master
   make build-on-alpine
