Please update the Dockerfile on Dockerhub for the Prometheus image

[CharlesWinter]

Just a quick note to please update the Dockerfile example shown on Dockerhub to reflect the new command line arguments that are required.

Can you specify them? I cannot launch prometheus docker image

@kaytrance Because the flags to Prometheus have changed in the latest version, I had to use the following CMD in my Dockerfile to get prometheus v2.1.0 to run.

CMD        [ "--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml", \
             "--storage.tsdb.path=/prometheus", \
             "--web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries", \
             "--web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles", \
             "--web.external-url=https://YOURDOMAIN/prometheus", \
             "--web.route-prefix=/prometheus" ]

If it's https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus/~/dockerfile/ you're talking about, that's not an example, that's the Dockerfile used for the automated build. Unfortunately it looks like the last time an automated build was run was ~2yrs ago (see https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus/builds/).

Since then, it appears that docker images have been pushed as part of the CircleCI build. So it's not really an automated build...

I don't think there's a way to alter the listed Dockerfile manually in DockerHub - to update it must be run automatically again.

Would love to fix this if there were a way to post the Dockerfile to the Docker Hub on a Circle CI build.

@kristaxox I'd rather remove the Dockerfile from Docker Hub as it is easy to get it from GitHub. I'm trying to get that done btw.
