Why is this preferable to scratch? Especially for a community project like Observatorium?

Because scratch is not scannable + not FIPS compliant
So using it will mask the issues that exist

@squat now the image is pullable from dockerhub
does that address the issue you had?

@squat 's concern here comes from a place of not wanting to implicitly tie a community project to a base image that is not widely used / understood by other members of the community. The upstream Thanos & Prometheus repos use busybox. Is that a preferable option here?

I am trying to build using both patterns and I am facing an issue with them
additionally one of the requirements is having quay.io scan the image, which it can't for the blackbox image

Requirements from whom? I don't know of any proposal or issue in the Observatorium organization where the project committed itself to ensuring all containers are scanned by Quay. 🙂 FIPS compliance sounds great but none of our other images follow this pattern. I would say that in terms of maintainability, it is far more important for the project to have consistent and coherent practices in all repos than for one individual image to be in Quay.
As a maintainer outside of Red Hat, would encourage Red Hatters to ensure that internal business requirements are not conflated with the project's independent goals and commitments.

working on changing this in a different location, but it should be noted that before I moved the image to scratch we noticed some security issues

if this is not available to you I will find a way to parlay that information to you.
basically, we are concerned now for the cve https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-36159. and hiding this under scratch might not solve this problem

not quite.. why would scratch have a vulnerable version of libfetch? there is no libfetch at all on a scratch system
the previous solution was ok, but the current one is more compatible with the security team - bump golang to latest (1.17) - fix secuirty vuln found with 'trivy image scan' - use ubi-micro to allow code-scanning using 'clair' - did a 'go mod vendor && go mod tidy' - gofmt a file using 'gofmt -w <filename>' related to observatorium#14
