duuh - docker unattended upgrades helper

This project aims to build docker images with unattended upgrades, i.e. with fixables CVEs fixed.

The problem with docker build cache

Docker build cache is great, it help to build docker images faster and avoid users to re-download layers upon rebuilds. You want docker build cache features. But it also have a terrible drawback of ignoring unattended security upgrades coming from underlying OS package manager. Most of the images available in registries have pending security updates :/

Solution

Duuh can detect such pending updates by running os package manager commands.

$ duuh --help
Usage of duuh: duuh <docker image>
  -build
        Build image with unattended upgrades
  -check
        check current container and output json unattended upgrades (internal use)
  -pull
        force pull image from registry before processing
  -push
        push image to registry after processing

duuh will exit with status 2 if pending updates are available.

With the -build flag, duuh will build and tag a new image with pending updates installed. A list of these pending updates are available in the duuh.upgrades docker label.

Currently, duuh support Alpine (apk), Debian (apt), and Centos (yum) based distros.
