This is the main package repository for the Wolfi project.

Named after the smallest octopus, Wolfi is a lightweight GNU software distribution which is designed around minimalism, making it well-suited for containerized environments built with apko.

It is built using melange, and is sponsored by Chainguard, which uses it to provide lightweight GNU/Linux runtime images.

Mixing packages with other distributions is not supported and can create security problems.

Wolfi is not currently intended to be a general purpose desktop operating system. Our priority is to provide packages that enable containerized and embedded system workflows. Please keep this in mind when proposing adding packages to Wolfi. Also note that some packages may not be appropriately licensed for inclusion. FSF or OSI approved licenses are ideal.

To request inclusion of a package into Wolfi please use our New Package Request Template.
