# Docker Official Images: `library/<image>` definition file format

The `docker-library/official-images` GitHub repo holds the actual build
specs for Docker's "Official Images" (the unqualified `ubuntu`, `nginx`,
etc. on Docker Hub). Each image has one plain-text file at
`library/<name>`, served raw with no API wrapper.

## Probe

```
curl -sD - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-library/official-images/master/library/ubuntu
```

## Observed

HTTP 200, `content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8`, `cache-control:
max-age=300`, served off GitHub's own CDN (`x-served-by:
cache-sjc1000125-SJC`, `via: 1.1 varnish`), 6,520 bytes for the whole
file on `master`.

Body is a line-oriented stanza format, not JSON/YAML — one stanza per
tag group, separated by comment-led `#` lines:

```
Maintainers: <name> <email> (@github-handle), ...
GitRepo: https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+oci/ubuntu-base
GitCommit: fa42be9027eccb928a1f0f43d95ffd9a45d36737
Builder: oci-import
File: index.json

# 20260924.1 (jammy)
Tags: 22.04, jammy-20260924.1, jammy
Architectures: amd64, arm32v7, arm64v8, ppc64le, riscv64, s390x
Directory: oci
amd64-GitFetch: refs/tags/dist-jammy-amd64-20260924.1-ef3b086b
amd64-GitCommit: ef3b086ba9259bdab229dd265fa3b5dbf6ea3a9a
```

Key fields: `Tags:` is the comma-separated list of tags that resolve to
that stanza (a single build can satisfy several tags at once, e.g.
`22.04`, `jammy-20260924.1`, and bare `jammy`); `Architectures:` is the
full build matrix for that stanza, not a separate per-arch file;
`Builder: oci-import` means the actual build source is an upstream OCI
index (`File: index.json` under `Directory: oci`), not a Dockerfile in
this repo — the "official image" definition is one level removed from
the thing that actually builds the layers. `master` is still the live
default branch for this repo (unlike several GitLab projects in this
same cluster, which have moved to `main` — see the osinfo-db source).

## How observed

2026-10-05T11:45:37Z, `curl` GET, default UA, against
`raw.githubusercontent.com`.
