Image Analysis

You can analyze any public container image using the built-in analyzers. By default, regis produces a JSON report on stdout.

regis analyze nginx:latest

Generating an HTML Report​

To generate a self-contained HTML report alongside the JSON report, use the --html flag:

regis analyze nginx:latest --html

This writes a single, portable report.html file — no server or base URL configuration required. Open it in any browser or ship it as a CI artifact. See Reports for details on the report architecture.

Advanced Tools​

regis includes specialized subcommands for advanced workflows:

  • bootstrap: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for your analysis. Bootstrap a new Git repository or a new playbook.
  • evaluate: Test playbooks against existing analysis reports without re-fetching image data.
note

GitLab CI integration ships as a reusable template from its own repository, trivoallan/regis-gitlab. See the GitLab integration guide.
