This image includes `yq`, `jq`, and `xq`. ## Supported Architectures Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64` and `arm64`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/). Simply pulling `linuxserver/yq` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags. The architectures supported by this image are: | Architecture | Available | Tag | | :----: | :----: | ---- | | x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\ | | arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-\ | | armhf | ❌ | | ## Usage ### Docker cli ```text docker run --rm \ -v "$PWD:$PWD" \ -w="$PWD" \ --entrypoint yq \ linuxserver/yq \ .foo.bar input.yml ``` You can replace the last line with any yq command and argument, which will be passed to yq inside the image. ```text docker run --rm \ -v "$PWD:$PWD" \ -w="$PWD" \ --entrypoint jq \ linuxserver/yq \ .foo.bar input.json ``` You can replace the last line with any jq command and argument, which will be passed to jq inside the image. ```text docker run --rm \ -v "$PWD:$PWD" \ -w="$PWD" \ --entrypoint xq \ linuxserver/yq \ .foo.bar input.xml ``` You can replace the last line with any xq command and argument, which will be passed to xq inside the image. ### Recommended method We provide a very convenient script that allows the yq container to run as if it was installed natively: ```bash sudo curl -L --fail https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-yq/master/run-yq.sh -o /usr/local/bin/yq sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yq ``` Running these two commands on your docker host once will let you issue commands such as `yq .foo.bar input.yml` and the yq container will do its job behind the scenes. ```bash sudo curl -L --fail https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-yq/master/run-jq.sh -o /usr/local/bin/jq sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jq ``` Running these two commands on your docker host once will let you issue commands such as `jq .foo.bar input.json` and the jq container will do its job behind the scenes. ```bash sudo curl -L --fail https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-yq/master/run-xq.sh -o /usr/local/bin/xq sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/xq ``` Running these two commands on your docker host once will let you issue commands such as `xq .foo.bar input.xml` and the xq container will do its job behind the scenes. ## Docker Mods [![Docker Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?style=for-the-badge&color=E68523&label=mods&query=%24.mods%5B%27yq%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=yq "view available mods for this container.") We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above. ## Support Info * image version number * `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/yq` ## Updating Info ### Via Docker Cli * Update the image: `docker pull linuxserver/yq` * You can also remove the old dangling images: `docker image prune` ## Building locally If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic: ```text git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-yq.git cd docker-yq docker build \ --no-cache \ --pull \ -t linuxserver/yq:latest . ``` The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using `multiarch/qemu-user-static` ```text docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset ``` Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with `-f Dockerfile.aarch64`. ## Versions * **29.05.24:** - Rebase to Alpine 3.20. * **08.01.24:** - Rebase to Alpine 3.19. * **19.09.22:** - Rebase to Alpine 3.18, deprecate armhf. * **19.09.22:** - Rebase to 3.17. * **19.09.22:** - Rebase to 3.15. * **18.05.21:** - Rebase to 3.13. add linuxserver wheel repo. * **09.10.20:** - Fix run scripts evaluating `$` in cases where they should not (ex: inside single quotes).
