Test your container images with our CLI tool

With Snyk, you can test, monitor and protect your container images directly from the CLI as follows:

To test for vulnerabilities and to receive relevant vulnerability details:

Run snyk test --docker myapp:mytag.

For example, from the CLI enter the following:
```
snyk test --docker ubuntu:latest
```
To test the image for vulnerabilities, to receive vulnerability details, and to receive base image remediation advice for your Dockerfile, from the CLI only:

Run snyk test --docker myapp:mytag --file=path/to/Dockerfile.

For example, from the CLI enter the following:
```
snyk test --docker ubuntu:latest --file=Dockerfile
```
To test the image for vulnerabilities, to receive vulnerability details, to receive base image remediation advice for your Dockerfile, and to also import a snapshot to Snyk UI for continuous monitoring:

Run snyk monitor --docker myapp:mytag --file=path/to/Dockerfile.

For example, from the CLI enter the following:
```
snyk monitor --docker ubuntu:latest --file=Dockerfile
```

All of the above is applicable also when using Snyk CLI on-prem.
