Allow container scanning to run offline
What does this MR do?
This MR allows a user to override the vulnerabilities database used by the GitLab Analyzer for Docker Containers by specifying a CLAIR_DB_IMAGE
variable. This will allow customers to run container scanning in an offline aka Air-gapped instance by providing their own locally hosted vulnerabilities database.
The CLAIR_DB_IMAGE_TAG
environment variable introduced as part of !16342 (merged) will be deprecated and eventually removed in a future release, however, it's still supported for the time being, so any build scripts making use of that variable will still continue to function until the value is removed.
Documentation updated in !19172 (merged)
See #10971 (comment 200430720) for more details
