itsthenetwork/alpine-dmidecode repository overview

A handy basic image comprising of;

• Alpine Linux⁠ v3.8.1. A security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc⁠ and BusyBox⁠.
• dmidecode⁠ v3.1. Dmidecode reports information about your system's hardware as described in your system BIOS.

For previous tag 1:

• Alpine v3.4 (containing this vulnerability: https://justi.cz/security/2018/09/13/alpine-apk-rce.html⁠)
• Dmidecode: v3.0

⁠Usage

I'd expect you use this image as a simple analysis tool.

⁠Pulling

Use this command to pull the image manually before runtime:

sudo docker pull itsthenetwork/alpine-dmidecode:latest

⁠Runtime

This command will start the container interactively and display the BIOS version and then be removed.

sudo docker run -it --name=dmi --rm --privileged itsthenetwork/alpine-dmidecode -s bios-version

⁠Additional Packages

If you wanted to install additional packages and build your own image based upon this one you'd start your Dockerfile like this:

FROM itsthenetwork/alpine-dmidecode:latest

RUN apk -add U -v package_name package_name

...

⁠Dockerfile

The Dockerfile used to create this image is available at the root of the file system, here it is anyway:

FROM alpine:latest
LABEL maintainer "Steven Iveson <[email protected]>"
COPY Dockerfile /Dockerfile

RUN apk --no-cache --update --verbose add grep bash dmidecode && \
    rm -rf /var/cache/apk/* /tmp/* /sbin/halt /sbin/poweroff /sbin/reboot

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/dmidecode"]
