# LinuxKit packages
LinuxKit packages a container images which are pull using the `moby`
tool and assembled into bootable Linux images. LinuxKit comes with a
number of [packages](../pkg) which are core part of LinuxKit, but
users can add their own packages to the YAML files.
A LinuxKit package is a container image which can be used by the `moby`
tool to assemble a bootable Linux image. The LinuxKit project has a
number of [core packages](../pkg), but users can create their own
packages, as it's very easy. Packages are the unit of customisation
in a LinuxKit-based project, if you know how to build a container,
you should be able to build a LinuxKit package.
All LinuxKit packages are:
- Signed with Docker Content Trust.
- Multi-arch manifests to work on multiple architectures.
- Enabled with multi-arch manifests to work on multiple architectures.
- Derived from well-known (and signed) sources for repeatable builds.
- Build with multi-stage builds to minimise their size.
