docker scout quickview

Quick overview of an image

Usage 

docker scout quickview [IMAGE|DIRECTORY|ARCHIVE]

Description

The docker scout quickview command displays a quick overview of an image. It displays a summary of the vulnerabilities in the specified image and vulnerabilities from the base image. If available, it also displays base image refresh and update recommendations.

If no image is specified, the most recently built image is used.

The following artifact types are supported:

  • Images
  • OCI layout directories
  • Tarball archives, as created by docker save
  • Local directory or file

By default, the tool expects an image reference, such as:

  • redis
  • curlimages/curl:7.87.0
  • mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:7.0

If the artifact you want to analyze is an OCI directory, a tarball archive, a local file or directory, or if you want to control from where the image will be resolved, you must prefix the reference with one of the following:

  • image:// (default) use a local image, or fall back to a registry lookup
  • local:// use an image from the local image store (don't do a registry lookup)
  • registry:// use an image from a registry (don't use a local image)
  • oci-dir:// use an OCI layout directory
  • archive:// use a tarball archive, as created by docker save
  • fs:// use a local directory or file
