About:
Copacetic (copa) is a CLI tool that patches container images directly using vulnerability scan reports. It analyzes scan results, identifies missing patches, and rebuilds the image with the necessary updates. This eliminates the need to rebuild images from source, streamlining container security maintenance.
Key Features:
  • Direct image patching without source code
  • Supports multiple vulnerability scanners (Trivy, etc.)
  • Rebuilds images with updated packages
  • CLI-based and automation-friendly
Use Cases:
  • Patching container images in CI/CD pipelines
  • Maintaining security compliance for deployed containers
  • Reducing time-to-patch for critical vulnerabilities
Alternatives:
  • Docker Scout – Docker Scout provides integrated vulnerability management within Docker Desktop, while copa is a standalone CLI tool focused on patching.
  • Rebuilding from source – Traditional rebuilds require full source access and build pipelines; copa patches existing images directly.
