Consider upgrading to a newer apache image

[skript-cc]

Issue:

The dockerfile used for apache uses an outdated version (2.4.18). The latest stable apache version at the time of writing is 2.4.41.

This is because the docker image used for apache is based on ubuntu 16.04. That version of ubuntu comes with apache 2.4.18 (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial&keywords=apache2).

Although ubuntu 16.04 is still a supported ubuntu version there are newer versions of ubuntu available that come with newer versions of apache.

I'm raising this issue because a security scan marked version of 2.4.18 as a vulnerability. When I attempted to upgrade I found out that this currently isn't possible with laradock because of the above.

Whether or not to use a newer image might depend on your maintenance/upgrade policy, if you have any. Based on that I might reconsider using laradock.

Relevant Code:

laradock/apache2/Dockerfile

FROM webdevops/apache:ubuntu-16.04
