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

This image was designed to work as a drop-in replacement for the official WordPress FPM-Alpine image, with a distroless variant for increased security on production environments.
The latest-dev
variant should be used to install and customize WordPress with themes and plugins. It has the same features from the upstream WordPress image, with an entrypoint script to set up the database via environment variables. The latest
variant is a production-ready distroless image that should be used to run the WordPress site in a multi-stage build.
You can use the following docker-compose.yml
file to set up a development environment to install and customize WordPress:
For this setup to work, you'll need an nginx.conf
file with the following content:
After running docker compose up
, your WordPress site will be available at http://localhost:8000
. You can follow the installation instructions to set up your site and test your setup, but persisting customizations such as themes and plugins will require a different strategy that requires either setting up a volume for your theme and plugins or copying the custom content to the image through a Dockerfile that uses cgr.dev/chainguard/wordpress:latest-dev
as the base image.
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:
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.
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.
