Your best bet is really to build your base image using debootstrap or similar. The 'official' images are often a joke. For the longest time, the maintainer of the 'official' Ubuntu image had no clear association with either Docker Inc or Canonical.
edit: To clarify, the images themselves are quality, and do get generated from Canonical's rootfs tarball, but the trust path for a huge chunk of binary data now hinges on a single individual, rather than a corporate entity.

- k_sh 9y agoI'd trust Canonical for Ubuntu images over a random internet citizen that decided to provide them.
- atonse 9y agoIt is definitely a bad thing from a risk standpoint, no two ways about it. Simply because that person could get hit by a bus, burn out, etc.
- s_kilk 9y agoWhen it comes to base images, I'd much rather trust Canonical, Docker Inc, Redhat, etc than Some Dude.
