* Automatic Dockerfile update by release process

Note that we found in the LedgerSMB Matrix chat channel that users
need more straight forward ways to quickly evaluate our proposition
which they are able to offer if we skip the TLS requirement

Also note that the TLS requirement requires a domain, which some
might not have at the stage where the system is only being evaluated.

+The quickest way to get this image up and running is by using the
+`docker-compose` file available through the GitHub repository at:
+
+  https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker/blob/1.5/docker-compose.yml
