## Project history and usage

droast is an opinionated Dockerfile and Containerfile linter written in Rust. It combines syntax-aware parsing with rules for correctness, security, reproducibility, maintainability, and container-image performance.

### Project history

The official repository was created in April 2026. The project quickly expanded from a command-line linter into a shared rule engine offered through native binaries, a container image, WebAssembly, editor integrations, pre-commit, and a GitHub Action.

### Adoption history

The project supports installation through Homebrew and Cargo, direct binary releases, GHCR, Wasmer, VS Code, Neovim, and pre-commit. These surfaces let the same checks run locally, in editors, and in CI.

### How it is used

Users can lint a single Dockerfile or recursively discover container build files across a repository. Output formats include terminal text, compact text, JSON, GitHub annotations, and SARIF; teams can commit a root-level droast.toml for shared defaults and policy.

### Why package nerds care

droast targets packaging mistakes that affect reproducible and secure container images, including unpinned packages and base images, unsafe secrets, cache misuse, and incorrect package-manager cleanup. Its small Rust binary and multiple packaging formats make it easy to insert into existing build pipelines.

### Timeline

- 2026-04: The official repository was created.
- 2026-07: Version 1.4.7 was released with native, container, editor, pre-commit, CI, and WASI installation paths.

### Related projects

- The project documents migration from Hadolint policies and optional ShellCheck integration, and it supports Docker and Podman build-context conventions.
