 If you do not have a local installation of Spack, you can use this container
 to run Spack commands - like `spack containerize`:
 ```ShellSession
-$ podman run -v $(pwd):/root:Z --rm registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/spack:0.22 containerize > Containerfile
+$ podman run -v $(pwd):/root:Z --rm registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/spack:0.23 containerize > Containerfile
 ```
 For further information, refer to the
 [Spack documentation on container images](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/containers.html).
