  • Worth noting that Hadolint[1] raises warnings the issues mentioned in the article. Some examples of warnings:

    - https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/wiki/DL3007: Using latest is prone to errors if the image will ever update. Pin the version explicitly to a release tag.

  • dockerfile-image-update

  • A similar tool to dependabot written by Salesforce: https://github.com/salesforce/dockerfile-image-update

  • semgrep-rules

    Semgrep rules registry

  • Hadolint is great! If you want to customize your lint logic beyond the checks in it, I recently wrote a Semgrep rule to require all our Dockerfiles to pin images with a sha256 hash that could be a good starting point: https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep-rules/pull/1861/file...
