Clair is an open source project for the static analysis of vulnerabilities in application containers (currently including [appc] and [docker]).
1. In regular intervals, Clair ingests vulnerability metadata from a configured set of sources and stores it in the database.
2. Clients use the Clair API to index their container images; this parses a list of installed _source packages_ stores them in the database.
3. Clients use the Clair API to query the database; combining this data is done in real time, rather than a cached result that needs re-scanning.
4. When updates to vulnerability metadata occur, a webhook can be configured to page or block deployments.

4. When updates to vulnerability metadata occur, a webhook containg the affected images can be configured to page or block deployments.
Our goal is to enable a more transparent view of the security of container-based infrastructure.
Thus, the project was named `Clair` after the French term which translates to *clear*, *bright*, *transparent*.

### How can I customize Clair?
The major components of Clair are all programmatically extensible in the same way Go's standard [database/sql] package is extensible.
Everything extendable is located in the `ext` directory.
Everything extensible is located in the `ext` directory.
Custom behavior can be accomplished by creating a package that contains a type that implements an interface declared in Clair and registering that interface in [init()].
To expose the new behavior, unqualified imports to the package must be added in your own custom [main.go], which should then start Clair using `Boot(*config.Config)`.
