I want to download a specific version of DynamoDB Local in a dockerfile so my build doesn't change without my knowledge.

I can download the latest version using this url:

.tar.gz

I expect to be able to download a specific version using something like

.5.3.tar.gz

I tried this as well as a few variations on this and they didn't work.

This seems like it should be an easily Google-able question, but I tried looking for a directory of download links or an archive or similar and didn't find it.

Can someone please help me find the correct link.

Yeah, I get what you're trying to do—pin a specific version of DynamoDB Local so your builds don’t break unexpectedly. The problem is that AWS doesn’t provide direct download links for older versions, only the latest one.

A better way to lock in a version is to use Docker with a specific tag. Instead of downloading the .tar.gz file manually, try this in your Dockerfile:

FROM amazon/dynamodb-local:1.13.6

This way, you always get the same version. Simple and reliable!
