dockdiver

Analyze container images for security vulnerabilities

TLDR

List all repositories in a Docker registry

$ dockdiver -url [http://target] -list
copy

Dump a specific repository to the default output directory (docker_dump)
$ dockdiver -url [http://target] -dump [repository_name]
copy

Dump all repositories with basic authentication
$ dockdiver -url [http://example.com] -dump-all -username [username] -password [password]
copy

Dump a repository with a custom port and rate limit
$ dockdiver -url http://example.com -dump [repository_name] -port [port] -rate [requests_per_second] -dir [path/to/output_directory]
copy

Dump all repositories with bearer token for authorization
$ dockdiver -url [http://example.com] -dump-all -bearer [bearer_token]
copy

Add custom headers as JSON (e.g., '{"X-Custom": "Value"}')
$ dockdiver -url [http://example.com] -list -headers ['{"X-Custom": "Value"}']
copy

SYNOPSIS

Hypothetical: dockdiver [options] [target]

PARAMETERS

--image <image_name>
    Analyze and provide insights on the specified Docker image.

--container <container_id>
    Inspect and monitor a running Docker container.

--dockerfile <path/to/Dockerfile>
    Visualize and analyze a Dockerfile.

--network <network_name>
    Explore Docker network configurations and connections.

--debug
    Enable debug mode for verbose output.

--help
    Display help message and exit.

--version
    Show version information and exit.

DESCRIPTION

The `dockdiver` command is a conceptual, hypothetical command-line tool designed to simplify the process of exploring and understanding Docker images, containers, and configurations.

It would provide an interactive, user-friendly interface to navigate the often-complex world of Docker, offering features such as real-time introspection of running containers, visualization of Dockerfiles, dependency analysis, and assistance with debugging common Docker-related issues. Imagine it as a powerful, enhanced `docker inspect` command with improved usability and analytical capabilities.

While not a real command, the idea behind `dockdiver` serves as a helpful concept for aspiring Linux/Docker tooling developers.

CAVEATS

This is a hypothetical command. It does not exist in standard Linux distributions or Docker installations. It's a conceptual tool to illustrate desired functionality for Docker management.

POTENTIAL FUNCTIONALITY

A real-world `dockdiver` might include features such as:

  • Interactive shell within a container.
  • Automated security scanning of images.
  • Real-time resource usage monitoring.
  • Dockerfile linting and best practices suggestions.

USE CASE EXAMPLE

A developer facing build issues with their application can run dockdiver --dockerfile myapp/Dockerfile to have visualisations and suggestions about each step and resource implications.
