docker trust inspect

Description Return low-level information about keys and signatures
Usage docker trust inspect IMAGE[:TAG] [IMAGE[:TAG]...]

Description

docker trust inspect provides low-level JSON information on signed repositories. This includes all image tags that are signed, who signed them, and who can sign new tags.

Options

Option Default Description
--pretty Print the information in a human friendly format

Examples

Get low-level details about signatures for a single image tag

Use the docker trust inspect to get trust information about an image. The following example prints trust information for the alpine:latest image:

$ docker trust inspect alpine:latest

The output is in JSON format, for example:

[
  {
    "Name": "alpine:latest",
    "SignedTags": [
      {
        "SignedTag": "latest",
        "Digest": "d6bfc3baf615dc9618209a8d607ba2a8103d9c8a405b3bd8741d88b4bef36478",
        "Signers": [
          "Repo Admin"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "Signers": [],
    "AdministrativeKeys": [
      {
        "Name": "Repository",
        "Keys": [
            {
                "ID": "5a46c9aaa82ff150bb7305a2d17d0c521c2d784246807b2dc611f436a69041fd"
            }
        ]
      },
      {
        "Name": "Root",
        "Keys": [
            {
                "ID": "a2489bcac7a79aa67b19b96c4a3bf0c675ffdf00c6d2fabe1a5df1115e80adce"
            }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

The SignedTags key will list the SignedTag name, its Digest, and the Signers responsible for the signature.

AdministrativeKeys will list the Repository and Root keys.

If signers are set up for the repository via other docker trust commands, docker trust inspect includes a Signers key:

$ docker trust inspect my-image:purple

The output is in JSON format, for example:

[
  {
    "Name": "my-image:purple",
    "SignedTags": [
      {
        "SignedTag": "purple",

            }
        ]
      },
      {

        ]
      }
    ],
    "AdministrativeKeys": [
      {

            }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

If the image tag is unsigned or unavailable, docker trust inspect does not display any signed tags.

$ docker trust inspect unsigned-img

no signatures or cannot access unsigned-img

However, if other tags are signed in the same image repository, docker trust inspect reports relevant key information:

$ docker trust inspect alpine:unsigned

The output is in JSON format, for example:

[
  {
    "Name": "alpine:unsigned",
    "Signers": [],
    "AdministrativeKeys": [
      {
        "Name": "Repository",
        "Keys": [
          {
            "ID": "5a46c9aaa82ff150bb7305a2d17d0c521c2d784246807b2dc611f436a69041fd"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "Name": "Root",
        "Keys": [
          {
            "ID": "a2489bcac7a79aa67b19b96c4a3bf0c675ffdf00c6d2fabe1a5df1115e80adce"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

Get details about signatures for all image tags in a repository

If no tag is specified, docker trust inspect will report details for all signed tags in the repository:

$ docker trust inspect alpine

The output is in JSON format, for example:

[
  {
    "Name": "alpine",
    "SignedTags": [
      {
        "SignedTag": "3.5",
        "Digest": "b007a354427e1880de9cdba533e8e57382b7f2853a68a478a17d447b302c219c",
        "Signers": [

          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

Get details about signatures for multiple images

docker trust inspect can take multiple repositories and images as arguments, and reports the results in an ordered list:

$ docker trust inspect alpine notary

The output is in JSON format, for example:

    "Name": "alpine",
    "SignedTags": [
      {

Formatting

You can print the inspect output in a human-readable format instead of the default JSON output, by using the --pretty option:

The SIGNED TAG is the signed image tag with a unique content-addressable DIGEST. SIGNERS lists all entities who have signed.

The administrative keys listed specify the root key of trust, as well as the administrative repository key. These keys are responsible for modifying signers, and rotating keys for the signed repository.

If signers are set up for the repository via other docker trust commands, docker trust inspect --pretty displays them appropriately as a SIGNER and specify their KEYS:

$ docker trust inspect --pretty my-image:purple
