Debian & Ubuntu provide daily snapshots of their repositories, see snapshot.debian.org and https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-snapshots-on-azure-ensuring-predictability-and-consistency-in-cloud-deployments https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-snapshots-on-azure-ensuring-p...
See e.g. https://github.com/reproducible-containers/repro-sources-list.sh https://github.com/reproducible-containers/repro-sources-lis... for how to use them.
Also, at least for Debian there are official images available that use snapshot.debian.org as package repository from the get-go – unfortunately those images are not published on a daily basis yet.
It seems the overall topic if reproducibility is on the Docker team's to do list, though, see https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/issues/16044 https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/issues/160...

I think I made it pretty clear that Docker images based on package repo snapshots are not fully "there" yet. > Docker in general can't solve reproducibility - it's the package manager within any container that does that. No doubt, but right now the issue is that the package managers have done their part and the Docker images need to catch up.
