Summary

The README claimed chrome-selkies is the current bootstrap image. It isn't published. Local build + both CI runs since streamspace-templates#2 have failed at the docker pull step because the Dockerfile uses FROM ghcr.io/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer:24.04, which doesn't exist in the upstream registry.

Tracked in streamspace-templates#3.

What changed

A !WARNING block was added to the "Available applications" section of the README that:

  • States plainly that no image is published yet
  • Cites the broken base image as the root cause
  • Links to the upstream tracking issue
  • Calls out that the Helm chart's seeded default-apps-configmap.yaml and the example Session in the Quick Start point at the unpublished tag, so deploys will pull-fail until the build is fixed

No code changes — this is purely truth-in-advertising. The architecture, the pipeline shape, and the rest of the README are still correct.

Why a warning instead of a fix

Fixing the Dockerfile is real engineering work — the rewrite needs to mirror the upstream docker-nvidia-egl-desktop Dockerfile (download release tarballs, install the Python wheel, unpack web assets) and then be tested end-to-end with a working browser stream. That belongs in its own focused PR with verified local + CI testing, not the tail of this docs sweep.

The README claimed the chrome-selkies image is the "current bootstrap
image". The image source exists in streamspace-templates, but the
Dockerfile uses a non-existent base image and CI has failed every
build since the pipeline landed (streamspace-templates#3).

Add a !WARNING block to the "Available applications" section that:
- States plainly that no image is published yet
- Cites the broken-base-image root cause
- Links to the upstream tracking issue
- Notes that the Helm chart configmap + the example Session in the
  Quick Start point at the unpublished tag, so deploys will pull-fail
  until the build is fixed

No code changes; this is purely truth-in-advertising.
