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

karma
is comparable to the upstream karma image, with the following differences:
karma
features a stripped down, minimal designMost importantly, the karma
image contains the OpenSSL FIPS Provider Module (CMVP #4282).
FIPS (short for Federal Information Processing Standards) are standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in accordance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and approved by the Secretary of Commerce. FIPS compliance ensures that cryptographic security services within applications meet strict security and integrity standards, and are implemented and configured correctly.
Chainguard offers a variety of language-specific FIPS Images configured out of the box for FIPS development in a given language. We also offer a number base FIPS images for specific applications, such as PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and nginx.
Be aware that if you run apk add
to install a package onto a Chainguard FIPS Image, there's no guarantee that these packages will function properly; they may throw errors if the package has certain dependencies that aren't available in the image. Additionally, even if they do function properly there's no guarantee that added packages will use FIPS-validated cryptography.
Please refer to Chainguard's FIPS Commitment for more information.
Karma is dashboard for managing alerts from AlertManager. Karma requires an alertmanager instance to be available. Both Karma and AlertManager requires config files.
The following is an example altertmanager.yaml
confguration file:
alermanager.yaml
More information can be found in the Karma configuration documentation.

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.
