ANCHORE,(1)

NAME
anchore, - manual page for anchore, version 0.9.0

SYNOPSIS
anchore sync [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

DESCRIPTION

    Manage synchronization activities of the local anchore instance with the anchore service. The primary operation is the catalog sync, which downloads metadata from the anchore web service and pulls the subscribed images from dockerhub.com.

    user-image sync manages the execution of user-supplied scripts to fetch images for local analysis.

    There are two basic kinds of syncs: catalog syncs and user-image syncs.

    A catalog sync pulls down the latest metadata from the anchore web service as well as any images from Docker Hub as specified in the current subscriptions list. See anchore-subscriptions(1) for commands to manage the current set of subscribed containers.

    An initial catalog sync is the first command required to initialize the system upon installation. Until a catalog sync has occured, the local system has no information about what subscriptions are available from the web service.

    Requiring explicit sync invocation is by design so that all of the anchore tools can run without connecting to the Anchore web service once a sync has been completed to enable the administrator to explicitly control when network access is needed and used.
