 ### Step 2: Configure the Dockerfile file 
 
-Copy and replace the contents of your existing `Dockerfile` with the configuration below:
+Before creating a Dockerfile, you need to choose a base image. You can either use the [Node.js Official Image](https://hub.docker.com/_/node) or a Docker Hardened Image (DHI) from the [Hardened Image catalog](https://hub.docker.com/hardened-images/catalog).
+
+Choosing DHI offers the advantage of a production-ready image that is lightweight and secure. For more information, see [Docker Hardened Images](https://docs.docker.com/dhi/).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> This guide uses a stable Node.js LTS image tag that is considered secure when the guide is written. Because new releases and security patches are published regularly, the tag shown here may no longer be the safest option when you follow the guide. Always review the latest available image tags and select a secure, up-to-date version before building or deploying your application.
+>
+> Official Node.js Docker Images: https://hub.docker.com/_/node
+
+{{< tabs >}}
+{{< tab name="Using Docker Hardened Images" >}}
+Docker Hardened Images (DHIs) are available for Node.js in the [Docker Hardened Images catalog](https://hub.docker.com/hardened-images/catalog/dhi/node). Docker Hardened Images are freely available to everyone with no subscription required. You can pull and use them like any other Docker image after signing in to the DHI registry. For more information, see the [DHI quickstart](/dhi/get-started/) guide.
+
+1. Sign in to the DHI registry:
+   ```console
+   $ docker login dhi.io
+   ```
+
+2. Pull the Node.js DHI (check the catalog for available versions):
+   ```console
+   $ docker pull dhi.io/node:24-alpine3.22-dev
+   ```
+
+3. Pull the Nginx DHI (check the catalog for available versions):
+   ```console
+   $ docker pull dhi.io/nginx:1.28.0-alpine3.21-dev
+   ```
+
+In the following Dockerfile, the `FROM` instructions use `dhi.io/node:24-alpine3.22-dev` and `dhi.io/nginx:1.28.0-alpine3.21-dev` as the base images.
 
 ```dockerfile

 ### Step 3: Configure the .dockerignore file
 
 The `.dockerignore` file tells Docker which files and folders to exclude when building the image.
