Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
Every Daemonless image ships with a complete Software Bill of Materials — a full inventory of everything inside it — in the two industry-standard formats:
- CycloneDX 1.6 (JSON)
- SPDX 2.3 (JSON)
Each document lists both halves of the image:
- FreeBSD packages (base system + runtime), from
pkg, with versions and licenses. - Application dependencies (Node, Python, .NET, Go, Rust, …), each with its package URL (purl) and version.
Tools you'll need
- Embedded copy: nothing beyond
podmanordocker— the same tool you already use to pull the image. - Registry attestation:
cosign(the Sigstore CLI). Install it withbrew install cosign, or grab a binary from the releases page.
Where to find it
Every image carries its SBOM in two places.
1. Inside the image
The CycloneDX and SPDX documents are baked into the image filesystem under
/usr/share/sbom/ (following FreeBSD's own convention). Read them without
running the application by overriding the entrypoint:
Or copy the whole directory out without starting the container:
The same commands work with docker — it's just files in the image.
2. Signed attestation in the registry
Each pushed image also has its SBOM attached in the registry as a Sigstore cosign attestation, signed keylessly (no long-lived keys). This is the format enterprise supply-chain tooling expects. Download it (no verification flags needed):
To verify the signature as well, keyless verification requires the identity that signed it — the GitHub Actions workflow — and the OIDC issuer:
CVE coverage
The application-layer components carry standard purls (pkg:npm/…,
pkg:pypi/…, pkg:golang/…, pkg:cargo/…), so vulnerability scanners such
as Grype and Dependency-Track match CVEs against them automatically.
FreeBSD packages are listed with a pkg:generic purl. They parse cleanly in
any tool, but note: no public vulnerability feed is currently keyed to
FreeBSD packages in these scanners, so the FreeBSD layer will not
auto-correlate CVEs regardless of format. This is an ecosystem gap, not a
limitation of the SBOM itself.
Standards & compliance
CycloneDX and SPDX are the two ISO-recognized SBOM standards. Shipping both, signed and attached to each image, is aligned with the SBOM/attestation expectations of frameworks like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and typical enterprise procurement checklists.
