Version '1.8.17+build15807+xenial' for 'ethereum' was not found

Since the geth version is still being hardcoded as environment variable and the PPA repository changes tags after a new release (or doesnt have old release even ,I have not checked) we are getting an error on launching or docker containers.

The current version is 1.8.18 , I suggest omtting the $binary environment variable completely and just rolling with the latest versions of geth and swarm.

E: Version '1.8.17+build15807+xenial' for 'ethereum' was not found

I will submit a PR.

Setting the versions to "latest" is not ideal in my opinion. The project would behave differently, completely unexpected. If the tags are changed retroactively, I think it would be best to download the binaries from the website, again.

On the other hand, I can't think of any reason why someone would want to run on an older Ethereum version. Stability is important, but I can't think of any need to rebuild the network on an older network. The latest tag is fine for me, go for it.

Afaik the ppa repo is not official , that's the main difference.
I submitted a PR for develop.

Even though I'm a contributer now I still got a 403 trying to push directly to this repo.

I'm experiencing this issue when cloning your repo & running docker-compose up in the build step of bootnode

Hi Chris. Thanks for reporting this, I will try to reproduce the issue, and reopened it.

Hey @chris-aeviator, I am not able to reproduce the issue. Do you still have trouble bringing the network up?

Thanks for the quick reply!
I removed all locally cached images from my machine, and built the network again, from scratch. I did not run into any issues so I would close it, again, if it is working for you, too.
