jonlabelle/network-tools repository overview

⁠Docker Network Tools

⁠Usage

To launch a Bash session in your terminal:

docker run --rm -it jonlabelle/network-tools

To launch a Bash session in your terminal on arm64:

docker run --rm -it --platform linux/arm64 jonlabelle/network-tools

To run a command directly and exit when finished (nmap in this case):

docker run --rm -it jonlabelle/network-tools nmap -v 10.0.10.0/24

⁠Included tools

See the GitHub repo's README.md⁠ for a complete list of tools.

⁠Automated builds

This image is automatically built and published:

• Weekly: Every Sunday at 1:43 AM UTC to ensure the latest security updates and package versions are included. This weekly schedule ensures that even if no code changes are made, the base Alpine Linux image and all installed network tools receive the latest security patches and updates.
• On commits: Whenever changes are pushed to the main branch, ensuring immediate availability of new features or fixes
• Manual: Can be triggered manually via GitHub Actions workflow dispatch for emergency updates or testing

Images are published to both Docker Hub⁠ and GitHub Container Registry⁠ with multi-architecture support (linux/amd64 and linux/arm64).

⁠Always use the latest tag

Always use the latest tag (e.g., jonlabelle/network-tools:latest) rather than specific version tags. The latest tag is automatically updated with weekly security patches, bug fixes, and tool updates, ensuring you always have access to the most secure and up-to-date version. Additionally, to maintain manageable storage, only the last 25 builds are retained in the registries, and older tagged versions may be removed.
