+# Container Scanning with GitLab CI/CD
+
+You can check your Docker images (or more precisely the containers) for known
+vulnerabilities by using [Clair](https://github.com/coreos/clair) and
+[clair-scanner](https://github.com/arminc/clair-scanner), two open source tools
+for Vulnerability Static Analysis for containers.
+
+All you need is a GitLab Runner with the Docker executor (the shared Runners on
+GitLab.com will work fine). You can then add a new job to `.gitlab-ci.yml`,
+called `sast:container`:
+
+```yaml
+sast:container:
+ image: docker:latest
+ variables:
+ DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2
+ ## Define two new variables based on GitLab's CI/CD predefined variables
+ ## https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/#predefined-variables-environment-variables
+ CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY: $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG
+ CI_APPLICATION_TAG: $CI_COMMIT_SHA
+ allow_failure: true
+ services:
+ - docker:dind
+ script:
+ - docker run -d --name db arminc/clair-db:latest
+ - docker run -p 6060:6060 --link db:postgres -d --name clair arminc/clair-local-scan:v2.0.1
+ - apk add -U wget ca-certificates
+ - docker pull ${CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY}:${CI_APPLICATION_TAG}
+ - wget https://github.com/arminc/clair-scanner/releases/download/v8/clair-scanner_linux_amd64
+ - mv clair-scanner_linux_amd64 clair-scanner
+ - chmod +x clair-scanner
+ - touch clair-whitelist.yml
+ - ./clair-scanner -c http://docker:6060 --ip $(hostname -i) -r gl-sast-container-report.json -l clair.log -w clair-whitelist.yml ${CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY}:${CI_APPLICATION_TAG} || true
+ artifacts:
+ paths: [gl-sast-container-report.json]
+```
+
+The above example will create a `sast:container` job in your CI/CD pipeline, pull
+the image from the [Container Registry](../../user/project/container_registry.md)
+(whose name is defined from the two `CI_APPLICATION_` variables) and scan it
+for possible vulnerabilities. The report will be saved as an artifact that you
+can later download and analyze.
+
+If you want to whitelist some specific vulnerabilities, you can do so by defining
+them in a [YAML file](https://github.com/arminc/clair-scanner/blob/master/README.md#example-whitelist-yaml-file),
+in our case its named `clair-whitelist.yml`.
+
+TIP: **Tip:**
+Starting with [GitLab Ultimate][ee] 10.4, this information will
+be automatically extracted and shown right in the merge request widget. To do
+so, the CI/CD job must be named `sast:container` and the artifact path must be
+`gl-sast-container-report.json`.
