# docker_container
Use the `docker_container` InSpec audit resource to test a Docker container.
<br>
## Availability
### Installation
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
### Version
This resource first became available in v1.21.0 of InSpec.
## Syntax
A `docker_container` resource block declares the configuration data to be tested:
describe docker_container('container') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_running }
its('id') { should_not eq '' }
its('image') { should eq 'busybox:latest' }
its('repo') { should eq 'busybox' }
its('tag') { should eq 'latest' }
its('ports') { should eq [] }
its('command') { should eq 'nc -ll -p 1234 -e /bin/cat' }
end
<br>
## Resource Parameter Examples
### name
The container name can also be passed with the `name` resource parameter:
describe docker_container(name: 'an-echo-server') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_running }
end
### id
Alternatively, you can pass in the container id:
describe docker_container(id: '71b5df59442b') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_running }
end
<br>
## Property Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec resource.
### id
The `id` property tests the container id:
its('id') { should eq 'sha:71b5df59...442b' }
### repo
The `repo` property tests the value of the image repository:
its('repo') { should eq 'busybox' }
### tag
The `tag` property tests the value of the image tag:
its('tag') { should eq 'latest' }
### ports
The `ports` property tests the value the Docker ports:
its('ports') { should eq '0.0.0.0:1234->1234/tcp' }
### command
The `command` property tests the value of the container run command:
its('command') { should eq 'nc -ll -p 1234 -e /bin/cat' }
### Verify a running container:
describe docker_container('an-echo-server') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_running }
its('id') { should_not eq '' }
its('image') { should eq 'busybox:latest' }
its('repo') { should eq 'busybox' }
its('tag') { should eq 'latest' }
its('ports') { should eq [] }
its('command') { should eq 'nc -ll -p 1234 -e /bin/cat' }
end
