⁠About the Tag

ArmyKnife provides the following tags:

• latest tag: This tag operates as a non-root user named knife. It always includes the latest tools and security patches, eliminating the opportunity to use older versions of the image to ensure the highest level of security and functionality.
• slim tag: This tag is a lightweight version of the image, with some of the heavier packages removed. It is useful for environments with limited resources or for users who prefer a minimalistic setup.
• root tag: This tag is used when you want to run the container as the root user. It is useful for specific operations that require root privileges.

ArmyKnife only offers these tags. This is a deliberate choice to ensure that users always have access to the latest tools and security patches, aiming to keep the development environment up-to-date. This policy prioritizes security. This version separates the explanations for the latest and root tags and clarifies the reason for providing only these tags.
