Roman Shtylman has an example of using a Dockerfile to produce a rootfs for the Jetson Nano: https://github.com/defunctzombie/jetson-nano-image-maker (2022)

I've always been hesitant to use this method over debootstrap: the Ubuntu container images ("FROM ubuntu:20.04") are created from a tarball that Ubuntu's convoluted CI system spits out and I'm not confident I understand if it's somehow suitable only for a container and not for real hardware.

The alternative is mkosi from systemd developers

https://github.com/systemd/mkosi

However beware that they break backwards compatibility almost every 6 months. This is probably the most backwards-incompable project I know, you can't rely that the minor version update won't break your projects.
