Docker Production Auditor

Applies a set of static rules covering image provenance, build reproducibility, runtime user, signal handling, layer hygiene, and secret exposure. Each finding explains the failure mode it prevents rather than just naming a rule.

Paste a Dockerfile. Findings explain the failure mode each rule prevents rather than just naming the rule.

What this tool checks

  • Base image tagging, pinning, and digest provenance
  • Whether the container would run as root
  • Secrets exposed through ENV or ARG
  • Package manager cache and layer hygiene
  • Signal handling: shell form versus exec form
  • Layer cache ordering for dependency installs
  • ADD used where COPY belongs, and remote fetches without verification
  • Health checks and exposed ports

What it does

  • Detects unpinned base images and floating tags
  • Flags containers that would run as root
  • Identifies secrets exposed through ENV or ARG
  • Catches package-manager cache and layer hygiene problems
  • Checks signal handling, health checks, and build context risks

What it does not do

  • Static analysis of Dockerfile text; it does not build or run the image
  • Cannot see your base image contents, so provenance findings are advisory
