Link Containers to Code Repositories via Docker Labels
You can link container images to code repositories by adding a Docker label to your images. This is useful when you build images from many different repos and want Aikido to automatically map them.
This feature needs to be enabled for your workspace. Contact Aikido to enable it.
Supported labels
Aikido recognizes two Docker labels for linking. You only need one of them.
aikido.repository: Aikido's own labelorg.opencontainers.image.source: the standard OCI label
Set the value to the full URL of the code repository the image belongs to.
If both labels are present, aikido.repository takes priority.
How it works
When Aikido scans a container image, it inspects the image's OCI labels. If it finds a supported label, it automatically links that image to the matching code repository.
Once linked, container issues appear inside the relevant repository in your Aikido feed.
The label must be set at build time in the Dockerfile. Aikido reads it directly from the image metadata, so it can't be added after the image is pushed.
Unlinking
Once an image is linked via a Docker label, it can't be unlinked through the Aikido UI. To change the link, update the label value in your Dockerfile and rebuild the image.
