quayside

Docker is awesome. And a very handy use case of Docker is that it allows to wrap commands that are somewhat difficult to set up in a container that comes with all the dependencies pre-configured. This approach however, comes with the downside that calling Docker is usually a bit more complicated that just calling a local command.

This is where quayside comes in. The goal of this app is to provide a simple wrapper for a limited but very repetitive use case.

Example usage

An example of a tool, that is offered as a container is sslyze.

A common call would look like this:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/data/" nablac0d3/sslyze:5.0.0 www.google.com --json_out /data/result.json

To do the same via quayside we need to define sslyze in the quayside configuration. Quayside is searching for its configuration at the following locations:

• ./quayside.yaml
• ~/.quayside.yaml

sslyze:
  container: nablac0d3/sslyze:5.0.0
  cwd: /data/
  mapped_arguments:
    cwd:
      - "--json_out"
      - "--targets_in"
      - "--cert"
      - "--key"
      - "--keyform"
      - "--pass"

Now we can call sslyze like this:

quayside sslyze --json_out=result.json www.google.com

The current working directory is automatically mounted at /data/ and paths that are passed to one of the mapped arguments are interpreted relative to that folder.
