# Wolfi OS

Wolfi is the first community Linux (un)distribution declaratively built for creating a secure base layer for your containers!

Wolfi is a community Linux OS designed for the container and cloud-native era. Chainguard started the Wolfi project to enable building [Chainguard Images](https://github.com/chainguard-images), our collection of curated [distroless](https://blog.chainguard.dev/minimal-container-images-towards-a-more-secure-future/) images that meet the requirements of a secure software supply chain. This required a Linux distribution with components at the appropriate granularity and with support for [glibc](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/).

Wolfi is a stripped-down distro designed for the cloud-native era. It doesn't have a kernel of its own, instead relying on the environment (such as the container runtime) to provide one. This separation of concerns in Wolfi means it is adaptable to a range of environments.

To get you up and running with Wolfi, let's go over a quick demo where you can create an image from a Dockerfile.

Wolfi is a Linux _undistro_ designed from the ground up to support newer computing paradigms such as containers. Although Wolfi has a few similar design principles as Alpine (such as using apk), it is a different distribution that is focused on supply chain security. Unlike Alpine, Wolfi does not currently build its own Linux kernel, instead relying on the host environment (e.g. a container runtime) to provide one.

### Can I mix packages from Alpine repositories into a Wolfi-based image?
93-
No, it’s not possible to mix Alpine apks with Wolfi apks. If your image requires dependencies that are currently only available for Alpine, you might consider opening a new issue in the [wolfi-os](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/wolfi-os/) repository to suggest the new package addition, or use [melange](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/melange) to build a custom apk for your image.

We intend for Wolfi to be the core foundation of Chainguard OS and available as open source project for use with minimal packages as used in our free Chainguard Containers.
