ℹ️ Installation and Usage

Counsel can be installed using pip:

pip install counsel

📒 Requirements

Counsel requires a running Docker installation in order to identify the currently running containers.

• Syft: A CLI tool and Go library for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images.
• Grype: A vulnerability scanner for container images.

🐳 Docker

You can run a Counsel using docker as long as the host docker socket is exposed to Counsel. The easiest way to install docker is to pull the image from DockerHub and run it using the following command (you will need to use your own slack webhook url):

docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e COUNSEL_SLACK_URL="<SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL>" evhart/counsel

You can also build the image dierctly using the following command:

docker build -t evhart/counsel .   

🖥️ Command Line Interface (CLI)

Counsel has a simple CLI interface that be accessed using the counsel command. Counsel support migrating/exporting data from one database ot another database and showing the firs rows from databases.

 Usage: python -m counsel.cli [OPTIONS]
