Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):

In this definition:
- `contents.repositories` uses full URLs to Alpine package mirrors.
- `contents.packages` lists exact Alpine package names.
- The `accounts` block creates a `nonroot` user (UID 65532) and sets it as the
default user for the container.
- The `os-release` block defines what appears in `/etc/os-release`. Always
include `bug-report-url` alongside `home-url`.
- The `annotations` block adds OCI metadata visible in registries and Docker
Scout reports.
Build the image:
```
$ docker buildx build . -f base.yaml \ --sbom=generator=dhi.io/scout-sbom-indexer:1 \ --provenance=1 \ --tag my-base:latest \ --load

> [!NOTE]
>
> The `tags` field in the spec file defines the image metadata (variant and
> version labels embedded in the image manifest). The `--tag` flag on the CLI
> sets the OCI image reference used to push or load the image. These serve
> different purposes - the spec file tags describe *what the image is*, while
> the CLI tag determines *where it's stored*.
