Note: The main branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development. Please use releases instead of the main branch in order to get stable binaries.

Clair Logo

Clair is an open source project for the static analysis of vulnerabilities in application containers (currently including OCI and docker).

Clients use the Clair API to index their container images and can then match it against known vulnerabilities.

Our goal is to enable a more transparent view of the security of container-based infrastructure. Thus, the project was named Clair after the French term which translates to clear, bright, transparent.

The book contains all the documentation on Clair's architecture and operation.
