| Description | Generate or display SBOM of an image |
|---|---|
| Usage | docker scout sbom [IMAGE|DIRECTORY|ARCHIVE] |
Description
The docker scout sbom command analyzes a software artifact to generate a
Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM).
The SBOM contains a list of all packages in the image.
You can use the --format flag to filter the output of the command
to display only packages of a specific type.
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:
rediscurlimages/curl:7.87.0mcr.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 lookuplocal://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 directoryarchive://use a tarball archive, as created bydocker savefs://use a local directory or file
