🔐 What is DockSec?

DockSec is an Open Source, AI-powered Docker Security Analyzer that helps developers and DevSecOps teams detect, prioritize, and remediate security issues in Dockerfiles and container images.

It combines trusted static analysis tools like Trivy, Hadolint, and Docker Bench with a powerful AI engine (LangChain + LLM) to provide actionable security insights, remediation suggestions, and human-readable reports.

Unlike traditional scanners that overwhelm users with raw output, DockSec focuses on developer-first security — delivering context-aware recommendations, risk scoring, and clean reports in HTML, PDF, or JSON formats. It seamlessly integrates into CI/CD pipelines or can be run locally via a simple CLI.

❓Why DockSec?

Most Docker security tools do one thing well — scan. But they often fall short where it matters most: prioritizing what’s important, explaining why it matters, and guiding you toward a fix.

Here’s why DockSec is different:

✅ Smart + Actionable: Combines traditional scanners with AI-driven remediation suggestions using LangChain + LLM.

🚀 Developer-First: Clear, prioritized output. Designed to work in CI/CD, pre-commit hooks, and developer environments.

📊 Security Score & Reports: Assigns a score to your Dockerfile/image and generates human-readable reports (HTML, PDF, JSON).

🔧 Flexible CLI: Run full scans, AI-only analysis, or scan-only modes with simple commands.

🧠 Shift Left, Intelligently: Helps developers fix security issues early — without friction or false positives.

🧩 Architecture Diagram

Here’s how DockSec works behind the scenes:

• Input: Dockerfile + optional Docker image
• Static Analysis: Trivy, Hadolint, Docker Bench
• AI Layer: LangChain + OpenAI for intelligent insights
• Output: Security reports (PDF, HTML, JSON, CSV)
• Modes: CLI, CI/CD, AI-only, scan-only

🚀 Installation

You can install DockSec via PyPI

pip install docksec

OR You can install DockSec using Python virtual environment

python -m venv env

# On Windows
env\Scripts\activate

# On macOS/Linux
source env/bin/activate

pip install -e .

This will install the DockSec using setup.py from local files.

To completely use the AI scanning of DockSec, you have to setup the OPENAI-API-KEY

• 🔹 PowerShell (Windows): $env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "your-secret-key"

• 🔹 Command Prompt (CMD on Windows): set OPENAI_API_KEY=your-secret-key

• 🔹 Bash/Zsh (Linux/macOS): export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-secret-key"

• 🔹 Or create a .env file with: OPENAI_API_KEY=your-secret-key

The following dependencies will be automatically installed:

• langchain
• langchain-openai
• python-dotenv
• pandas
• tqdm
• colorama
• rich
• fpdf
• setuptools

Congratulations, you can now explore and install all our available packages! 🎉

📝 How to Use DockSec (CLI)

After installation, you can use DockSec with a simple command:

docksec path\to\Dockerfile

Options:

• -i, --image: Specify Docker image ID for scanning (optional)
• -o, --output: Specify output file for the report (default: security_report.txt)
• --ai-only: Run only AI-based recommendations
• --scan-only: Run only Dockerfile/image scanning

Examples:

# Basic analysis
docksec path\to\Dockerfile

# Analyze both Dockerfile and a specific image
docksec path\to\Dockerfile -i myimage:latest

# Only run AI recommendations
docksec path\to\Dockerfile --ai-only

# Only scan for vulnerabilities with custom output file
docksec path\to\Dockerfile --scan-only -o custom_report.txt

• Legacy Usage

You can still use the original commands:

# For AI-based recommendations
python .\main.py "path\to\your\dockerfile"

# For scanning both Dockerfile and images
python docker_scanner.py <dockerfile_path> <image_name> [severity]
# Example: python docker_scanner.py .\Dockerfile myapp:latest CRITICAL,HIGH

• External Tools Setup

To check the Dockerfile as well as images for vulnerabilities, you need to setup Trivy and hadolint:

python .\setup_external_tools.py

For manual installation, refer to [Trivy] (https://trivy.dev/v0.18.3/installation/) and [hadolint] (https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint?tab=readme-ov-file#install) documentation.
