Are there any feelings about the capitalization of watchtower? As a non-native speaker I am a bit unsure.
| "org.opencontainers.image.title"="watchtower" \ | ||
| "org.opencontainers.image.description"="A process for automating Docker container base image updates." \ | ||
| # The version might be forgotten. The version could be extraced into a `ARG` before the initial `FROM` or removed. | ||
| "org.opencontainers.image.base.name"="alpine:3.19.0" |

Any feelings? If not I would tend towards removing the concrete version. It adds little in additional information but makes the Dockerfile somewhat more complex.

This PR adds Labels to the Docker Image. The added Labels conform to the Annotations defined in the OCI Image Format Specification.
The following labels are added for releases (dev and tagged):
org.opencontainers.image.urlorg.opencontainers.image.documentationorg.opencontainers.image.sourceorg.opencontainers.image.licensesorg.opencontainers.image.titleorg.opencontainers.image.descriptionorg.opencontainers.image.base.nameTagged releases are additionally labeled with
org.opencontainers.image.createdorg.opencontainers.image.versionorg.opencontainers.image.revisionImage Labels are considered a best practice for Container Images. They make it easier to handle Images and reconstruct which version one is running. Image Labels also enable tools for automatic dependency updates (like Renovate and Dependabot) to automatically retrieve and display Release Notes for an update.
I tested the changes locally with
goreleaser release --skip-publish --skip-validate --rm-dist. The images had the expected labels. There are no existing test suites that apply to this change.Documentation updates are not required for this change.
