Inside the container, check the configured repository:
```

root@myapp:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dhi.list deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/dhi-deb.gpg] trixie main

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
When the DHI repository carries a hardened version of a package, `apt` prefers
it over the upstream Debian version automatically. You can confirm this with
`apt-cache policy &lt;package&gt;`, which shows a candidate with a `+dhi` or `dhi`
version suffix sourced from `https://dhi.io/deb/debian/main`.

Not every Debian package is available as a hardened system package. When a
package is not in the DHI repository, `apt` transparently falls back to the
upstream Debian mirrors configured in the base image.

All packages installed from the Docker Hardened Images repository are built from
source by Docker and include full provenance.
