About the dfc UI/CLI

DFC-UI is a web-based user interface built on top of the dfc CLI tool using its Go SDK. It allows you to convert Dockerfiles to use Chainguard Images and replace FROM and RUN lines with secure, minimal base images and APK-based commands — all via your browser.

The dfc tool helps you migrate traditional Dockerfiles to use Chainguard Images and APK packages instead of bulky base images or unsafe dependency installs. It's built to improve container image security and reproducibility.
