We are in an unfortunate interim phase where release version 7.16 is slowly, ever so slowly, crawling towards the official release line. The Docker team probably had their own imperative for making an interim release without the wait.

So account:
https://hub.docker.com/u/boinc

is Boinc official ?
If yes - ok.

Just alarming form me official:
"7.4.22 Recommended version"
from
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

vs

"v 7.17.0" from
https://hub.docker.com/r/boinc/client

p.s.
Download section at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php is REALLY outdated...

More on time is there

I'm a member (volunteer, small scale) of the boinc dev team. The source code at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-client-docker is certainly part of the collective BOINC project - different volunteers work on different part of the project, according to their interests and skill levels. You can see that my contribution was accepted by the team at places like #3183, if you want confirmation.

The discussion here about current version numbers is accurate, as far as it goes.

all is clear now (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC)
web pages making little mess (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php)
I was with boinc at 2008, back for moment to support corona fight. No spare time to reading ton of documentation like years ago
