minicli Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened minicli image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

minicli is the Minimus command-line tool for generating AI skills and managing private images as code, directly from your terminal or CI/CD pipeline. See the list of minicli commands

Try It Out

The minicli image requires a Minimus token with minicli access enabled. If you don't have one, you can create it now.

Persist Login via a Mounted Config Directory

TOKEN="{token}"
mkdir -p ~/.minicli
echo "$TOKEN" | docker run -i --rm --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
  -v ~/.minicli:/.minicli reg.mini.dev/minicli login

You should see the confirmation Saved credentials to /.minicli/credentials.json.

You can reuse the mounted credentials to run the container, for example, list your existing private images:

docker run --rm --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
  -v ~/.minicli:/.minicli reg.mini.dev/minicli image list

Provide the Token as an Environment Variable

Alternatively, skip the mounted config and pass the token directly on each run, for example:

TOKEN="{token}"
docker run --rm \
  -e MINICLI_TOKEN="$TOKEN" \
  reg.mini.dev/minicli image list

Technical Considerations

The minicli image is a proprietary image provided by Minimus.

minicli built by Minimus:

Runs as non-root by default.
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.

See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
