Anchore
Anchore is a set of tools that provides visibility, transparency, and control of your container environment. With anchore, users can analyze, inspect, perform security scans, and apply custom policies to container images within a CI/CD build system, or used/integrated directly into your container environment.
This repository contains the anchore analysis scanner tool (with a basic CLI interface), which can be appropriate for lower-level integrations - for new users and current users who have been looking to deploy Anchore as a centralized service with an API, an open source project called the Anchore Engine has been released (with its own light-weight client CLI) which extends the capabilities of anchore beyond what usage of this scanner tool alone can provide. The project page links are below, which include installation/quickstart instructions, API documents and usage guides.
If you would like to deploy Anchore as an API accessible service within your environment, you should visit the Anchore Engine project page to get started - note that the anchore-engine uses the anchore analysis scanner code from this repository as a dependency - if you're using the anchore engine you will not need to install the software from this repository manually. If you are a current user of anchore and are not ready to try the anchore-engine yet, or you are interested in the core anchore container analysis scanner open source software itself, this is the code you're looking for.
Using Anchore Scanner via Docker
Anchore is available as a Docker image.
docker pull anchore/clidocker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name anchore anchore/cli:latestdocker exec anchore anchore feeds sync- Use docker exec to run anchore commands in the container, such as:
docker exec anchore anchore analyze --image <myimage> --dockerfile </path/to/Dockerfile>
The general model is to run the container in detached mode to provide the environment and use 'docker exec' to execute anchore commands within the container. See the above link on how to use the container specifically and options that are container specific.
Using Anchore Scanner Installed Directly on Host
To get started on CentOS 7 as root:
- install docker (see docker documentation for CentOS 7 install instructions)
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/centos/
- install some packages that full functionality of anchore will require (run as root or with sudo)
yum install epel-release
yum install python-pip rpm-python dpkg
To get started on Ubuntu >= 15.10 as root:
- install docker engine >= 1.10 (see docker documentation for Ubuntu >= 15.10 install instructions)
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/
- install some packages that full functionality of anchore will require (run as root or with sudo)
apt-get install python-pip python-rpm yum
Next, on either distro:
- install Anchore to ~/.local/
cd <where you checked out anchore>
pip install --upgrade --user .
export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
- run anchore! Here is a quick sequence of commands to help get going
anchore --help
docker pull nginx:latest
anchore feeds list
anchore feeds sync
anchore analyze --image nginx:latest --imagetype base
anchore audit --image nginx:latest report
anchore query --image nginx:latest has-package curl wget
anchore query --image nginx:latest list-files-detail all
anchore query --image nginx:latest cve-scan all
anchore toolbox --image nginx:latest show

Jenkins
If you are a Jenkins user, please visit our github wiki installation documentation at https://github.com/anchore/anchore/wiki/Anchore-and-Jenkins-Integration to learn more about using the Jenkins Anchore build-step plugin.
Vagrant
- Install Vagrant and Virtualbox
- Download the Vagrantfile
vagrant upvagrant sshsudo -i- Continue with step 4)
Manual Pages
Man pages for most of the anchore commands are available in: $anchore/doc/man, where $anchore is the install location of the python code for your distro (e.g. /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/anchore for ubuntu). To install them, copy them to the appropriate location for your distro. The man pages are generated from --help and --extended-help options to anchore commands, so similar content is available direclty from the CLI as well.
