This false sense of reproducability is why I funded https://docs.stablebuild.com/ some years ago. It lets you pin stuff in dockerfiles that are normally unpinnable like OS package repos, docker hub tags and random files on the internet. So you can go back to a project a year from now and actually get the same container back again.

Isn't this problem usually solved by building an actual image for your specific application, tagging that and pushing to some docker repo? At least that's how it's been at placec I've worked at that used docker. What am I missing?

What do you do when you then actually need to make a change to your application (e.g. a 1-liner fix)? Edit the binary image?

Perhaps more focused on docker-based development workflows than final deployment.

Builds typically aren’t retained forever.
