dockerlint

Dockerlint

Linting tool for Dockerfiles based on recommendations from Dockerfile Reference and Best practices for writing Dockerfiles as of Docker 1.6.

Install

With npm just do:

$ [sudo] npm install -g dockerlint

Usage

Once installed it's as easy as:

dockerlint Dockerfile

Which will parse the file and notify you about any actual errors (such an omitted tag when : is set), and warn you about common pitfalls or bad idiom such as the common use case of ADD.

In order to treat warnings as errors, use the -p flag.

Running from a git clone

If you've cloned this repository, you can run dockerlint with:

make deps # runs npm install
make js && coffee bin/dockerlint.coffee

If you're building on Windows, you'll have to set the path to your make:

npm config set dockerlint:make "mingw32-make.exe"

or pass it to every invocation:

npm run build:win --dockerlint:make=mingw32-make.exe

Roadmap

• Add support for --version which checks against a specific Docker version
• Refactor code to move the rule specific functions into a Rule class
