YAML Validator –A simple Docker-based YAML checker
Hi HN, I made a tiny tool called YAML Validator that checks your YAML files with one Docker command — no installs, no setup, no excuses. It does: - Syntax checks - yamllint linting - checkov security scanning - All in one lightweight, zero-config container --------------------------------------------------------- How to use: docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" pooyanazad/yaml-checker Optional alias (for .bashrc / .zshrc): alias ytest='docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" pooyanazad/yaml-checker' Then simply call: ytest sample.yaml YAML powers CI/CD, configs, infra ,and…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I made a tiny tool called YAML Validator that checks your YAML files with one Docker command — no installs, no setup, no excuses. It does: - Syntax checks - yamllint linting - checkov security scanning - All in one lightweight, zero-config container --------------------------------------------------------- How to use: docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" pooyanazad/yaml-checker <yaml-file> Optional alias (for .bashrc / .zshrc): alias ytest='docker run -v "$(pwd):/data" pooyanazad/yaml-checker' Then simply call: ytest sample.yaml YAML powers CI/CD, configs, infra ,and breaking it is too easy. This aims to catch syntax, style, and security issues early with minimal friction. I’d love feedback, ideas, or edge cases to test. --------------------------------------------------------- GitHub: https://github.com/pooyanazad/YAML-validator --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading!
