What do the badges show for Docker?

ReleaseRun badges display real-time version freshness, end-of-life status, CVE vulnerability counts, and an overall health score for Docker releases.

How do I embed a Docker badge in my README?

Use the embed builder above to select your version and badge type, then copy the generated Markdown or HTML snippet into your README.

How often is Docker badge data updated?

Badge data refreshes every 6 hours from endoflife.date and NIST NVD. Badges are cached for 5 minutes at the CDN edge.

Can I customize the badge style?

Yes, append ?style=flat-square or ?style=for-the-badge to the badge URL. The embed builder lets you preview all available styles.

Why Use Docker Health Badges?

Docker Engine releases don’t follow a predictable schedule, and security patches often arrive without fanfare. A health badge gives your team instant visibility into whether your Docker version has known vulnerabilities.

Our CVE badges pull from the NIST NVD in real-time. When a container escape vulnerability drops, your badge reflects it within hours — not weeks. This matters when you’re running Docker in production with thousands of containers.

Where Docker Badges Add Value

Dockerfile templates: Show the Docker Engine health status alongside your base image recommendations.
Infrastructure documentation: Make version health visible in runbooks and architecture docs.
Compliance dashboards: Auditors want to know your container runtime is patched. A green health badge is instant proof.

Security Overview

CVE vulnerability data is sourced from the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and refreshed every 6 hours.

Check specific version CVEs using the badge builder above or visit our Docker hub page for detailed security analysis.

Upgrade Guidance

Running an older version of Docker? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:

Check breaking changes in release notes
Review EOL dates for your current version
Test in staging before production rollout
Consider LTS versions for stability

See the official Docker documentation for detailed upgrade instructions.
