Include packages needed only during the build, such as `bash`. | | `pipeline` | Contains named steps that run shell commands. Always start scripts with `set -eux -o pipefail`. | | `outputs` | Copies results from the build stage into the final image. Setting `diff: true` copies only files that changed, keeping the image minimal. | | `accounts` | Nginx uses a dedicated `nginx` user (UID 65532) instead of `nonroot`. The `www-data` group (GID 82) is also created for web server compatibility. | | `musl-utils` | Required in both the main and build packages for Alpine-based Nginx images. | ``` Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
