perl validate email address

There’s a great perl module Email::Valid to check if a string is a well-formed email address. It doesn’t actually check to see if the email exists in the destination domain, but in it’s simplest form we can just make sure the string follows the proper email address format specification.

Install the module:

# apt-get install -y libemail-valid-perl

quick and dirty:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Email::Valid;

# do it once with an email address as an argument
#if ( ! Email::Valid->address("$ARGV[0]")){print "$ARGV[0]\n"};

my $file="to_be_tested2_emails.txt";

# do it with a list of emails
  open(FH,"$file") or die("Can\'t read $file.\n");
  foreach my $line (<FH>) {
    chomp $line;
    if ( ! Email::Valid->address("$line")){print "$line\n"};

  };
  close(FH);

TODO: think of loading into array; removing malformed addresses; having option to run once vs. run list; test the rfc822 validation

docker get list of tags in repository

The native docker command has an excellent way to search the docker hub repository for an image. Just use docker search <search string> to look in their registry.

We can see the official debian repository right at the top. Unfortunately there’s no way to see what tags and images are available for us to pull down and deploy. However, there is a way to query the registry for all the tags in a repository, returned in JSON format. You can use a higher level programming language to get the list and parse the JSON for you. Or you can just use a simple one-liner:

# wget -q https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/debian/tags -O -  | sed -e 's/[][]//g' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/ //g' | tr '}' '\n'  | awk -F: '{print $3}'

Wrap that in a little bash script and you have an easy way to list the tags of a repository. Since a tag is just a pointer to a image commit multiple tags can point to the same image. Get fancy:

# wget -q https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/debian/tags -O -  | sed -e 's/[][]//g' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/ //g' | tr '}' '\n' | sed -e 's/^,//' | sort -t: -k2 | awk -F[:,] 'BEGIN {i="image";j="tags"}{if(i!=$2){print i" : "j; i=$2;j=$4}else{j=$4" | "j} }END{print i" : "j}'
