Minimus container images are now free (opens in new tab)

Completely blocking the image information page to mobile user agents is completely unnecessary. I'd much rather look at your non optimized page than be told to come back on desktop.

Moreover, even after switching to desktop mode on my phone, there's nothing I see that precludes you from employing a little bit of CSS to make those pages render more nicely on mobile screens.

Asking the very obvious question (as it's not apparent from the website): Why would I use this over DHI (Docker Hardened Images) or Chainguard Images, both of which also have a set of free hardened images?

In the risk reduction tab, it should compare the vulnerability count against the node-slim image. In my eyes, it takes away from the offering when they try to prop up the vuln count for the official images, and nobody deploys `node:latest`.

Where are these built? Can I see the Dockerfiles? How are they licensed? I get that they are free as in beer, but not libre/FLOSS?

What's the availability story? Docker Hub has pretty severe rate-limiting even if you're not an anonymous user.

Since we started paying for Chainguard I’ve become super sold on the benefits of minimal and continually patched images. It’s just a shame that the open source community only gets to benefit from the limited free library DHI and Chainguard offer. I understand it costs money though and that needs to come from somewhere.

John here (CTO and Co-Founder)… we’d be happy to answer any questions anyone has!

The free tiers always go away, after they're deep in our infra. I would prefer to price it from the start.

Is their ingress-nginx-controller image similar to that of Chainguard: a drop-in replacement with the CVEs fixed?

Supply chain attack waiting to happen

I truly don't get this. What is the security policy here? Why should I trust images built by minimus.io? How do I know they don't contain malicious software? What's the point?

good job!

this space is too crowded now. everyone is copying whatever Chainguard is doing

- Chainguard Images

- Chainguard Libraries

- Chainguard VM

...

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

noice!
