Why Use Ubuntu Health Badges?
Ubuntu is a core technology in server and container base images across thousands of production systems. Ubuntu LTS releases have 5-year standard support; non-LTS just 9 months. 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 Ubuntu 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 Ubuntu Badges Track
- EOL status — is your Ubuntu version still receiving patches from Canonical?
- 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 Ubuntu Badge
Copy the Markdown snippet below and paste it into your project README. The badge updates automatically — no CI step, no token, no install.

Who Needs Ubuntu Badges?
Any team running Ubuntu 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 Ubuntu projects, ReleaseRun’s stack health checker gives you a single-page overview of every version across your entire stack.
