This looks like a widely accepted image for mariadb on alpine linux. Unfortunately it lacks some versioning tags. It is not recommended to use :latest tag as it might fail when a newer version is released. Instead you should use a specific version.
But this image has only 10.5.9, 10.5.8 etc... When I'm using 10.5.9 now and there is a security issue in 10.5.9 I will not get an update to 10.5.10 until I change the used tag. My suggestion is to tag every image 3 times: :10.5.9 would get :10.5 and :10 to have :10 as the latest version of major release 10 and :10.5 as the latest version of minor release 10.5.
I'm doing something similar for my images and I'm happy to provide a PR if you like to have this feature too.
