Description

fromage lists all container references in dockerfiles in your git repository and indicates whether there are newer versions available. To show all container images references in Dockerfiles, type:

./fromage list --branch master --verbose https://github.com/binxio/kritis
IMAGE                                   PATH                                            BRANCH  NEWER
golang:1.12                             helm-hooks/Dockerfile                           master  1.13,1.14,1.15
gcr.io/gcp-runtimes/ubuntu_16_0_4       helm-release/Dockerfile                         master  
ubuntu:trusty                           vendor/golang.org/x/net/http2/Dockerfile        master  
golang:1.12                             deploy/Dockerfile                               master  1.13,1.14,1.15
gcr.io/distroless/base:latest           deploy/Dockerfile                               master  
gcr.io/google-appengine/debian10:latest deploy/gcr-kritis-signer/Dockerfile             master  
gcr.io/gcp-runtimes/ubuntu_16_0_4       deploy/kritis-int-test/Dockerfile               master  
gcr.io/google-appengine/debian10:latest deploy/kritis-signer/Dockerfile                 master  

The columns show the container reference, the filename and branch in which it was found and available newer versions.

checking out-of-date references

to check whether there are newer references available, type:

./fromage check --branch master --verbose https://github.com/binxio/kritis
IMAGE                                   PATH                                            BRANCH  NEWER
golang:1.12                             helm-hooks/Dockerfile                           master  1.13,1.14,1.15
golang:1.12                             deploy/Dockerfile                               master  1.13,1.14,1.15
exit code 1

This will only list the references which are out of date. If found, it exits with code 1.

bumping container references

To bump the references to the next level, type:

./fromage bump --branch master --verbose [email protected]:binxio/kritis.git
2021/01/21 21:05:42 INFO: updating reference golang:1.12 to golang:1.13 in helm-hooks/Dockerfile
2021/01/21 21:05:42 INFO: updating reference golang:1.12 to golang:1.13 in helm-hooks/Dockerfile
2021/01/21 21:05:46 INFO: updating reference golang:1.12 to golang:1.13 in deploy/Dockerfile
2021/01/21 21:05:46 INFO: changes committed with 67847a0
2021/01/21 21:05:46 INFO: pushing changes to [email protected]:binxio/kritis.git

As you can see from the available versions, this process can be repeated until golang is at the highest level.

The bump will commit the changes to the repository. If it is a remote repository reference, the change will also be pushed.

moving container registry

If you need to move your container registry images from for instance docker hub to AWS Public ECR registry, type:

$ fromage move --verbose --from index.docker.io/library --to public.aws.ecr/docker/library --branch master [email protected]:binxio/kritis.git
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: updating reference ubuntu:trusty to public.aws.ecr/docker/library/ubuntu:trusty in vendor/golang.org/x/net/http2/Dockerfile
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: updating reference golang:1.13 to public.aws.ecr/docker/library/golang:1.13 in deploy/Dockerfile
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: updating reference golang:1.13 to public.aws.ecr/docker/library/golang:1.13 in helm-hooks/Dockerfile
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: updating reference golang:1.13 to public.aws.ecr/docker/library/golang:1.13 in helm-hooks/Dockerfile
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: moved references from index.docker.io/library to public.aws.ecr/docker/library
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: changes committed with 1234ef
2023/02/15 16:02:43 INFO: pushing changes to [email protected]:binxio/kritis.git

Caveats

• The bump will update all container references it finds in all files
