Dalec is a project aimed at providing a declarative format for building system packages and containers from those packages.
Our goal is to provide a secure way to build packages and containers, with a focus on supply chain security.
- 🐳 No additional tools are needed except for Docker!
- 🚀 Easy to use declarative configuration
- 📦 Build packages and/or containers for a number of different targets
- DEB-based: Debian, and Ubuntu
- RPM-based: Azure Linux, Rocky Linux, and Alma Linux
- Windows containers (cross compilation only)
- 🔌 Pluggable support for other operating systems
- 🤏 Minimal image size, resulting in less vulnerabilities and smaller attack surface
- 🪟 Support for Windows containers
- ✍️ Support for signed packages
- 🔐 Ensure supply chain security with build time SBOMs, and Provenance attestations
