This is a poorly designed instruction, which is hardcoded and cannot be easily modified or maintained on a rolling release sw like ours. This *should* be set in the SearXNG Docker Compose template, not in the image itself.
The OCI format is now used since we no longer have the HEALTHCHECK on the Dockerfile.

I'm not too pleased to reverse this, but issues like https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4792 have not been foreseen, and we can't just turn away. It has become apparent over the last weeks that there are still quite a few people with an incompatible CPU or having SearXNG on some random VM provider who can't (or won't) modify the configuration of their machines to expose the features needed for x86_64v2 march.
As I don't want to trash the work with apko and base images, I thought about trying building Alpine again now that we have all the container related workflow refactored.
There will still be the discussion of whether to use musl and its drawbacks, but right now I don't know any other alternatives.
The nice part of this is that both Dockerfiles (mainline and legacy) can now be unified under the same umbrella again.

Temporarily remove the -e flag from set to prevent entrypoint.sh from stopping execution if any command returns a non-zero status. This doesn't solve anything but relaxes the script checks.

That entrypoint is prone to screw things up, especially with permission handling. The new script handles initialization better and fixes some issues like delayed settings update via ENVs and timestamp overwriting, also adjusts what should be copied into the container.

The wolfi-base metapackage includes busybox, ca-certificates-bundle and the package manager. The change is to make the use of base-builder image more flexible.
Instead of using Wolfi base images from cgr.dev and making that mess on the Dockerfile, why don't we build the base images ourselves from Wolfi repos with apko? The intention of this is to simplify the main Dockerfile and avoid having to patch the base image every time, it also simplifies some steps like image ownership management and provides extremely fast builds.
Wolfi OS images are specifically designed for container use. Using a specially designed base image for containers not only reduces maintenance burdens, but improves overall experience for developers (fewer packages we have to track) and end users (smaller images).

container.yml will run after integration.yml COMPLETES successfully and in master branch.
Style changes, cleanup and improved integration with CI by leveraging the use of
shared cache between all workflows.
* Podman is now supported to build the container images (Docker also received a refactor, merging both build and buildx)
* Container images are being built by Buildah instead of Docker BuildKit.
* Container images are tested before release.
* Splitting "modern" (amd64 & arm64) and "legacy" (armv7) arches on different Dockerfiles allowing future optimizations.
