Cloudsmith CLI now available as an official Docker image

You can now run the Cloudsmith CLI anywhere Docker is supported - no installation needed. This makes it easier to integrate into containerized workflows and CI/CD systems, where setup speed and consistency matter.

Why it matters

Installing and managing the CLI across environments, especially in CI/CD pipelines, often meant extra setup steps or custom scripts. The official Docker image provides a portable, consistent way to run the CLI in automation workflows without managing local installations.

What’s new

  • Official image published on Docker Hub at cloudsmith/cloudsmith-cli
  • Supports all CLI packaging formats and commands
  • Designed for use in CI/CD jobs, dev containers, and other container-native environments

How to use it

  • Pull the image:
docker pull cloudsmith/cloudsmith-cli
  • Run the CLI with a single command:
docker run --rm -e CLOUDSMITH_API_KEY=your-api-key cloudsmith/cloudsmith-cli whoami
  • Pass credentials as environment variables or mount config files for authenticated commands
  • Supports all packaging formats and commands available in the CLI
