CleanStart announced the expansion of its Docker Hub community of free vulnerability-free container images, surpassing 50 images, each refreshed daily to give developers access to current container builds.

Each image is maintained through an automated process that updates packages within 24 hours, helping users avoid stale builds and outdated dependencies. CleanStart introduced the expanded library after developers called for reliable, fast-refreshing images as other providers scaled back their free offerings.

The company sees the library of clean hardened images as an anchor for its community strategy, making container security and maintenance accessible to any developer.

"Developers are tired of guessing if the images they pull are safe or current," said Nilesh Jain, CEO of CleanStart. "We've built the largest daily-refreshed image library available on Docker Hub, and adoption numbers prove the market was waiting for it."

The expanded set also supports the company's image management strategy for regulated industries. Frequent refreshes give teams a stronger baseline for security reviews and simplify documentation during audits, which helps developers avoid time lost on patching older builds and lets them release with greater confidence.

"Fifty images is only the beginning. The community told us they needed a place where they could pull containers and know they were current," said Nilesh Jain, CEO of CleanStart. "We built that foundation on Docker Hub to make it easy for developers to trust what they're running, and provide resources that can scale as security standards get tougher."

CleanStart plans to continue expanding the number of community images, with most updated regularly within 24 hours.
