Enabling Content Hints
This feature is disabled by default to ensure that images may not exercise this feature without the admin’s explicit approval.
In each analyzer’s config.yaml
file (by default at /config/config.yaml
):
Set the enable_hints: true
setting in the analyzer
service section of config.yaml.
If using the default config.yaml included in the image, you may instead set an environment variable (e.g for use in our provided config for Docker Compose):
ANCHORE_HINTS_ENABLED=true
environment variable for the analyzer service.
For Helm: see the Helm installation instructions for enabling the hints file mechanism when deploying with Helm.
