Live Badges
Why Use Debian Health Badges?
Debian is a core technology in server and container base images across thousands of production systems. Debian stable releases have ~3 years of active support followed by LTS. A health badge embedded in your README or dashboard shows at a glance whether your version is still supported — without manual changelog hunting.
ReleaseRun’s Debian health badges give Linux teams a live signal that updates automatically as new versions ship. Paste one line of Markdown and your badge is live.
What Debian Badges Track
- EOL status — is your Debian version still receiving patches from Debian Project?
- Latest stable version — always shows the current release so your team can plan upgrades
- Security status — flags versions with known CVEs or no active security support
- Release age — highlights how far behind your pinned version is
How to Add a Debian Badge
Copy the Markdown snippet below and paste it into your project README. The badge updates automatically — no CI step, no token, no install.

You can also embed as an HTML <img> tag in wikis, Notion docs, or internal dashboards. See the badge builder for custom styles and sizes.
Who Needs Debian Badges?
Any team running Debian in production benefits from a visible health indicator. That includes open-source maintainers who want contributors to know the project is current, platform teams managing internal services, and security engineers who need a quick EOL audit across a microservices fleet.
If your organisation runs multiple Debian projects, ReleaseRun’s stack health checker gives you a single-page overview of every version across your entire stack.
