Show HN: GitHub for Docker Images

  • We created contains.dev to allow quick exploring of Docker images, their contents, layers, etc.

    To get any sort of info about an image we found ourselves pulling them locally and spending lots of time with CLI tools and manual layer exploration.

    Much like GitHub is a great way to explore different repositories quickly, we're hoping contains.dev is a step in that direction.

  • This is a huge improvement over DockerHub's UI (both the UI and search), and it definitely feels like the familiar GitHub. Excellent work; bookmarked!

  • Awesome tool!

    It'd be great if we couls use this with github1s.com (https://github1s.com/conwnet/github1s).

  • This reminds me of Microbadger that Liz Rice started with some of her friends. It's very similar.

    I like the integration with CVEs.. So what's the longer term vision here for contains.dev?

  • Very cool. Would be nice to have a browser extension or something to have a quick link over from hub.docker.com.

  • Cool project! I would be cautious with the sentence „See what’s inside your Docker“. Aside from the broader term „container image“, I would think you could get mail from Docker (as I’m the company) for using their name while you’re not Docker.

  • This is great! I was working on something similar but admittedly didn’t get around to launching it, it wasn’t as nice as this. How do you plan to monetize?

  • This is awesome.

  • Looks slick, nice job! What are the advantages of signing up?

  • i like this, def keep going in this direction, i am gonna check it out further tomorrow when i am more awake. great look too

  • How does it work?
