Couldn't you just lazy build your own images if you don't trust the source?

Even then most of these containerized apps can be run perfectly fine as a host binary, you just have to make your own start script and a systemd unit which isn't that bad.

You could then build a completely custom image if you'd like, or move it into a VM if you don't like the idea of running it baremetal.
