24 alternatives to SecureBuild – Zero-CVE Images That Pay OSS Projects

We're launching SecureBuild: https://securebuild.com — a new way for open source projects and maintainers to earn revenue by partnering with and endorsing our Zero-CVE container images of their project. We’ve spent the last decade at Replicated (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9841243) helping commercial and open source software vendors securely distribute their apps to enterprise environments. During that time, we saw firsthand how hard it is for maintainers to fund their work, and how increasingly demanding enterprises have become when it comes to demonstrable…

SecureBuild offers container images built with zero known vulnerabilities for open source projects, based on Wolfi. The service provides full software bill of materials and supports enterprise security requirements. It… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    I would like to share Minimal - Its a open source collection of hardened container images build using Apko, Melange and Wolfi packages. The images are build daily, checked for updates and resolved as soon as fix is available in upstream source and Wolfi package. It utilizes the power of available open source solutions and contains commercially available images for free. Minimal demonstrates that it is possible to build and maintain hardened container images by ourselves. Minimal will add more images support, and goal is to be community driven to add images as required and fully customizable.

    I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices. Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native…

    I built this as a small side project to learn and experiment, and I ended up with this! I used a subdomain from my personal portfolio, and everything else runs on free tiers. The project uses Nuxt, SVG, Cloudflare Workers, D1 (SQL), KV, Terraform, and some agentic coding with OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. What started as a joke among friends turned into a fun excuse to build something end to end, from zero to production, and to explore a few things I’d never touched before. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

    Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

    This project addresses the inefficiencies of traditional Dockerfile-based container builds where each customization layer creates storage bloat through duplicate dependencies from repeated apt-get install commands, network inefficiency from redundant package downloads across different images, and slow iteration cycles requiring full rebuilds of all previous steps. Our solution enables building minimal base images from scratch using debootstrap that precisely include only required components in the initial build, while allowing creation of specialized variants (Java, Kafka, etc.) from these…

    Hi HN, I'm an Indie Dev. Building web apps, I struggled to check for vulnerabilities on a surface and a deeper level at the same time. Most free scanners gave vague results or missed dependency issues and tools for deeper searches are mainly for enterprise. Also with vibe coding the issue of security is rising more and more. I built SecureNow - a simple web scanner built with Next.js and Supabase that checks SSL, ports, dependencies, headers, and basic vulns. It caught real issues in my projects. Free basic scans at securenow.app. Feedback on accuracy and missing features? Thanks!

    Hi HN! I've posted this a few weeks back without much HN traction - today we've added a free community tier, so anyone can try it out. TL;DR: We’ve launched StableBuild, a new tool to easily freeze and pin Docker images, operating system packages, Python packages, and arbitrary build dependencies; in 5 lines of code: https://stablebuild.com . As the CTO at an ML startup w/ 75 people (https://edgeimpulse.com/) I’ve grown incredibly frustrated with non-deterministic builds. Last year basically every week one of our containers (we have 40+ unique ones in prod)…

    Linux Foundation survey says 70-90% of modern software constitute OSS code. Yet we are stuck with tools that scan only for vulnerabilities in 3rd party libraries and that too with high degree of false positives. I built `vet` for policy and data driven analysis of 3rd party packages that goes beyond only vulnerability and allows codifying organisational policies related to OSS consumption. https://github.com/safedep/vet Looking forward to feedback and suggestions from HN :)
