This article explores a common pitfall with Docker contexts when using the containerd image store feature, particularly when running security scans with tools like Trivy. Learn how to extract and pass the correct Docker socket to ensure seamless integration and accurate vulnerability scans.

In this post, we present a solution that helps to avoid running unnecessary duplicate jobs.
