The [Docker Official Images](https://hub.docker.com/search?q=&type=image&image_filter=official)
|
|
are a curated set of Docker repositories hosted on Docker Hub.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
These images provide essential base repositories that serve as the starting
|
|
point for the majority of users.
|
|
|
|
These include operating systems such as
|
|
[Ubuntu](https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/) and
|
|
[Alpine](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine/), programming language runtimes such as
|
|
[Python](https://hub.docker.com/_/python) and
|
|
[Node](https://hub.docker.com/_/node), and other essential tools such as
|
|
[memcached](https://hub.docker.com/_/memcached) and
|
|
[MySQL](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql).
|
|
|
|
The images are some of the [most secure images](https://www.docker.com/blog/enhancing-security-and-transparency-with-docker-official-images/)
|
|
on Docker Hub. This is particularly important as Docker Official Images are
|
|
some of the most popular on Docker Hub. Typically, Docker Official images have
|
|
few or no packages containing CVEs.
|
|
|
|
The images exemplify [`Dockerfile` best practices](../../develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices.md)
|
|
and provide clear documentation to serve as a reference for other `Dockerfile` authors.
|
|
|
|
Images that are part of this program have a special badge on Docker Hub making
|
|
it easier for you to identify projects that are part of Docker Official Images.
