+These images contain the same binaries as the [release tarballs](./binaries.md) inside a `debian:bookworm-slim` image, running under a user imaginatively named `user`, with UID:GID of 1000:1000.
 
 The binaries are placed under the `/home/user/` directory which is also the default *WORKDIR*.
 The *ENTRYPOINT* of the image is configured to directly launch the respective binary without any extra arguments.
