Warning: The Anchore Inline Scan script is deprecated and will reach EOL on Jan 10, 2022. Please update your integrations to use Grype for CI-based vulnerability scanning or Syft. We will be updating our integrations that use inline_scan during that time to use Grype directly. Until that time all integrations will continue to function and get updated vulnerability data.
Until Jan 10, 2022: we will continue building inline_scan images based on v0.10.x of Anchore Engine and they will be updated daily for latest feed data. On Jan 10, 2022, we will stop building new versions of the images with updated vulnerability data and the data will be stale.
After Jan 10, 2022: users should be transitioned to Grype or Grype-based integrations.
An assortment of scripts & tools for integrating Anchore Engine into your CI/CD pipeline.
- Allows scanning and analysis of local docker images.
- Invokes the anchore/inline-scan container to perform a vulnerability scan or image analysis.
- Currently only supports docker based CI/CD tools.
- Script is intended to run directly on Anchore Engine containers.
- Used by scripts/inline_scan & should only be used when inline_scan is not an option.
- Used to build any version of the inline_scan container.
- Also can be used to run CI tests locally.
Source code for CircleCi orbs has been moved to a new GitHub Repository.
Image is built using the official Anchore Engine image base. It contains a Postgresql database pre-loaded with Anchore vulnerability data from https://github.com/anchore/engine-db-preload daily. Also contains a Docker registry which is used for passing images to Anchore Engine for vulnerability scanning.
Container is built using the scripts/build.sh
script. The version of anchore-engine to build with can be specified with the environment variable ANCHORE_VERSION=<VERSION>
.
After building the inline_scan container locally, the scripts/inline_scan
script can be called using this container by setting the environment variable ANCHORE_CI_IMAGE=stateless_anchore:ci
.
Wrapper script for inline_scan container, requires Docker & BASH to be installed on system running the script.

Call script directly from github with:
curl -s https://ci-tools.anchore.io/inline_scan-v0.10.0 | bash -s -- [OPTIONS] <IMAGE_NAME>
inline_scan -p -r alpine:latest ubuntu:latest centos:latest
docker build -t example-image:latest -f ./Dockerfile .
inline_scan -d ./Dockerfile example-image:latest
inline_scan -f -p ./policy-bundle.json example-image:latest
For use cases where it is desirable to perform image analysis for a locally build container image, and import the image analysis to an existing Anchore Engine installation, we support a methodology using the inline_scan tool. With this technique, you can 'add' an image to your anchore engine service by analyzing any image that is available locally (say, on the docker host on which the image was built). You can then import the analysis data into anchore engine, rather than the regular method where images are pulled from a registry when added to anchore engine.
The only requirements to run the inline_scan script with the 'analyze' operation is the ability to execute Docker commands, network connectivity to an anchore engine API endpoint & bash. We host a versioned copy of this script that can be downloaded directly with curl and executed in a bash pipeline.
- Note - For the rest of this document,
USER
,PASS
, andURL
refer to an anchore engine user, password, and engine endpoint URL (http://:/v1) respectively.
To run the script on your workstation, use the following command syntax.
curl -s https://ci-tools.anchore.io/inline_scan-v0.10.0 | bash -s -- analyze -u <USER> -p <PASS> -r <URL> [ OPTIONS ] <FULL_IMAGE_TAG>
In order to perform local analysis and import the image correctly into your existing anchore engine deployment, special attention should be paid to the image identifiers (image id, digest, manifest, full tag name) when performing local analysis. Since image digests are generated from an image 'manifest' which is generated by a container registry, this technique requires that you either specify a digest, ask for one to be randomly 'generated', or supply a valid manifest alongside the image when it is being imported. An image ID can also be supplied if one is available that you would prefer to use. Best practice is to supply these identifiers in whichever way is most appropriate for your use case, resulting in the information being associated with the imported image correctly such that you can refer to it later using these identifiers.
