Request trialChainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev

The Chainguard ant
container image provides Apache Ant, a Java-based build automation tool. Since there is no official Apache Ant Docker image, this image serves as a secure alternative to community-maintained versions.
This container image's tags are in the form of <ANT_VERSION>-jdk<OPENJDK_VERSION>[-dev]
, such that one can track 1-jdk21
for Ant 1.x.x with OpenJDK 21. The -dev
variants contain jmods, and are thus suitable to use jlink.
The ant-fips
Chainguard Container ships with a validated redistribution of OpenSSL's FIPS provider module.
Note, exclude bc-fips.jars /usr/share/java/bouncycastle-fips/
module-path from jlink, as jlink is unable to link signed jars. Instead ensure that --module-path=/usr/share/java/bouncycastle-fips
is used at runtime, with such path copied from either this container image, or jdk-fips
or jre-fips
images.
OpenJDK 8 is not currently supported for FIPS; with this image, one must target at least JDK 11 during build. Refer to the Specification tab for the extra variables set to ensure Ant and Java are operating in FIPS mode.
For more on FIPS support in Chainguard Containers, consult the guide on FIPS-enabled Chainguard Containers on Chainguard Academy.
Use the ant-fips
container to build Java projects with Ant build files:
To compile and package a Java project:
To run a specific Ant target:
Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.
In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest
contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.
The main features of Chainguard Containers include:
For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev
variant.
Although the -dev
container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev
variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
