I have no idea what the heck is this, maybe it’s a great product but a very poor website in telling what I am getting into, is this better than the usual containers? How? Supported platforms? Can I run it on arm? The usuals

It’s a library of near 0 CVE images available to use for free. Think Docker Hub, just without vulnerabilities.

They’re all normal, OCI compliant images. You can pull them, run them, and build on them like you would any other image.

arm64 and amd64 builds for everything

> just without vulnerabilities

You surely mean "without known and reported vulnerabilities". I doubt you're proactively fixing the world across thousands of software packages /s

Correct, we are not claiming to be auditing the source of every software package in the world. The value we provide is a minimalistic architecture so you start with a significantly smaller attack surface and continuous builds of upstream so you stay at a near 0 CVE state without the substantial work required to do so yourself. Basically, we help you get all the upstream fixes from across the OSS ecosystem as quickly, safely, and easily as possible.

Minimus images support both amd64 and arm64. When you run the docker pull command, it will automatically pull the correct architecture for your system.

You can also review the different SBOMs for the amd64 and arm64 images, for example - https://images.minimus.io/gallery/images/python-fips/lines/3...

yes all the images have ARM64 versions as well as x86_64
