endpoint does not exist "/mempool/recent" about esplora HOT 5 CLOSED

I always rebuild both which is a no op when not needed. I suggest you use that too in your scripts but we should make it more obvious on the README too!

@Kexkey Are you sure you are not connecting to an old instance or maybe some kind of cache?

I stopped the esplora container, deleted all the Docker images (the esplora one as well as all the intermediary (cache) ones) to make sure no cached images were used and rebuilt it. I get the ame error.

In logs/electrs-bitcoin.log I can see:

2019-03-06T20:22:19.182+00:00 - WARN - HttpError(404, "endpoint does not exist \"/mempool/recent\"")

as well as endpoint does not exist "/mempool/recent" in the web page when accessing https://explorer.kexkey.com/tx/recent.

I'll try to dig a little more to understand what's going on.

Oh! I just found the "blockstream/esplora-base" image locally that's 2 weeks old that I didn't delete! Pretty sure that's the problem. BRB in a few minutes. :)

Ok that was it.

Suggestion: avoid using "latest" tag on Docker images. It is a known problem, that tag is nothing more than a regular string and is not a reference to the actual latest image. I had to face all sort of problems myself when publishing new releases when I was using that tag. In this case, I had locally the "blockstream/esplora-base:latest" image from 2 weeks ago. Docker dumbly used it instead of downloading the new "latest" tag since it doesn't know it's not the same image (it doesn't compare the hash/digests).

So you got a good call when you suggested to have a look at any caches on my side! :) Thanks again!
