Chainguard Container for REPO_NAME

Container Object Storage Interface (COSI) controller and sidecar

Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.

Download this Container Image

For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/REPO_NAME:latest

Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.

Compatibility Notes

These images are built on Wolfi, providing regular security updates and a minimal attack surface. Chainguard's images maintain functional parity with the upstream images:

• controller: The main COSI controller that manages object storage resources.
• sidecar: A sidecar container that provides additional functionality for object storage operations.

Getting Started

controller

The objectstorage-controller image is not meant to be run directly with Docker. Instead, deploy with the kubectl and replace the image as upstream recommended:

kubectl create -k 'https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/container-object-storage-interface//?ref=v<VERSION>'
kubectl set image -n container-object-storage-system deployment/container-object-storage-controller objectstorage-controller=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/objectstorage-controller:latest

Then you can deploy the cosi-driver-sample to test the controller.

sidecar

After you deployed your COSI driver, you can use the Chainguard's objectstorage-sidecar image as a sidecar container in your Kubernetes deployments with a simple replacement of the image:

kubectl set image deploy/<COSI_DEPLOYMENT> objectstorage-provisioner-sidecar=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/objectstorage-sidecar:latest

Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard's free tier of Starter container images are built with Wolfi, our minimal Linux undistro.

All other Chainguard Containers are built with Chainguard OS, Chainguard's minimal Linux operating system designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a development, or -dev, variant.

In all other cases, including Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest or with a specific version number, the container images include only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they include additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from the -dev variant into a more minimal production image.

Need additional packages?

To improve security, Chainguard Containers include only essential dependencies. Need more packages? Chainguard customers can use Custom Assembly to add packages, either through the Console, chainctl, or API.

To use Custom Assembly in the Chainguard Console: navigate to the image you'd like to customize in your Organization's list of images, and click on the Customize image button at the top of the page.
