Skopeo-FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened Skopeo-FIPS image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies.
The Skopeo image is a containerized version of the Skopeo CLI tool. It is often used in air-gapped environments to sync images between registries, to verify image digests in CI/CD pipelines, and more.
FIPS 140-3 Certification
This image is FIPS-validated to ensure its cryptographic operations meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) required for secure government and regulated environments. Its core cryptographic modules are validated under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) and comply with the FIPS 140-3 standard.
To verify that the FIPS 140-3 provider is configured and active, follow the instructions in the FIPS compliance tab.
Try It Out
You can use the Minimus Skopeo image to inspect images in remote registries without pulling them. For example, you can inspect the hello-world Docker image:
docker run --rm \
reg.mini.dev/skopeo-fips \
inspect --insecure-policy docker://docker.io/hello-worldYou can also list all the tags available for the image:
docker run --rm \
reg.mini.dev/skopeo-fips \
list-tags --insecure-policy docker://docker.io/hello-worldTechnical Considerations
The Skopeo-FIPS image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
Skopeo-FIPS built by Minimus:
- Runs as non-root by default for a security-first approach that protects against privilege escalation attacks. The public image runs as root.
- The working directory defaults to root. The public image working directory defaults to
/home/skopeo. - Drill down on the version specification tab for the complete list of environment variables.
The Payoff
A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.
- See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
- Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
