What it does

Every morning this workflow reads the `FROM` lines across your tracked Dockerfiles, resolves each base image to its release, and looks up the end-of-life date. Any image that is already EOL or expires within your warning window gets a ready-to-merge pull request that bumps it to the nearest supported tag, with the EOL evidence in the PR body.

When to use it

Run this when you maintain many services and can't manually track Debian, Alpine, Node, Python, or other base-image support windows. It turns a quiet supply-chain risk into a routine, reviewable PR before the deadline rather than after a CVE lands.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the scan.
  2. 2The workflow lists Dockerfiles in the configured GitHub repos and extracts each base image and tag.
  3. 3For each image it queries an EOL data source over HTTP to get the support end date.
  4. 4A logic step keeps only images that are EOL or within the warning window (e.g. 30 days).
  5. 5For each flagged image it resolves the nearest supported tag and opens a GitHub PR with the swap and a cited rationale.
  6. 6A Slack message summarizes which images were flagged and links every PR.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
