docker-diff 0.0.9

Docker Image Comparison Database Manager

docker-diff

Docker Image Comparison Database Manager. Scans Docker images, stores file listings and comparisons in SQLite, and provides a simple CLI to query results.

Quick Start

• Install dependencies and project env (uv):
  • uv sync
• Run the CLI:
  • Local: uv run docker_diff_pkg/cli.py list images
  • After install: docker-diff list images

Database Backends

This project supports two SQLite-compatible backends:

• Local SQLite file via Python sqlite3 (default) at docker_images.db.
• Remote Turso via libsql Python client.

The database schema initializes automatically on first run from docker_diff_pkg/schema.sql.

Using Turso (libsql)

1. Ensure dependency is installed

• The project declares libsql-client in pyproject.toml. If you updated sources, run uv sync.

2. Set environment variables

• URL: TURSO_DATABASE_URL (preferred) or LIBSQL_URL
• Token: TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN or LIBSQL_AUTH_TOKEN

Examples (macOS/Linux):

• Prefer HTTPS (avoids WebSocket restrictions):
  • export TURSO_DATABASE_URL="https://<your-db>.turso.io"
  • export TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN="<your-token>"
• WebSocket (Hrana) alternative:
  • export TURSO_DATABASE_URL="libsql://<your-db>.turso.io"
  • export TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN="<your-token>"

3. Run a command

• uv run docker_diff_pkg/cli.py list images
• or: python -m docker_diff_pkg.cli list images

Troubleshooting

• WebSocket handshake errors (e.g., WsServerHandshakeError):

  • Cause: libsql:// uses WebSockets (Hrana). Corporate proxies/firewalls often block wss.
  • Fix: Switch to HTTPS: set TURSO_DATABASE_URL="https://<db>.turso.io" and keep the same token.
  • Optional: adjust proxies: unset HTTP(S)_PROXY, or set NO_PROXY="*.turso.io,localhost,127.0.0.1".

• Command hangs and does not exit:

  • The libsql client runs a background event loop thread. The CLI now closes the client on exit. If embedding DockerImageDB in your own code, call db.close() when done.

• Auth failures (401/403):

  • Ensure the token belongs to the target DB and hasn’t expired.

CLI Overview

• Scan images: docker-diff scan <image...>
• Compare images: docker-diff compare <image...> [--name NAME]
• List images: docker-diff list images
• List comparisons: docker-diff list comparisons
• Summary: docker-diff summary <id>
• Unique files: docker-diff unique <id> [--limit N]

Development

• Build: make build
• Clean: make clean
• Integration Test: make integration-test
• Add dev dep: uv add --group dev <package>

Notes

• Python 3.10+ with type hints.
• SQLite with proper FKs and indexes; schema in docker_diff_pkg/schema.sql.
• DB access is abstracted to support both backends without changing CLI usage.
