Check broken links in a Docker container

Dcycle Docker Broken Link Checker

Check for broken links with Link Checker.

For example:

docker run --rm dcycle/broken-link-checker:3 --help
docker run --rm dcycle/broken-link-checker:3 http://example.com > ~/Desktop/result.csv

Checking against a site running on a docker container:

docker run --rm --link my_container_name:site dcycle/broken-link-checker:3 http://site

You will now have access to the csv file of broken links at ~/Desktop/result.csv.

What are the differences between this project and the official Docker image?

The project has a Dockerfile, and there is an official project on the Docker hub.

• The project's Docker does not seem to work, as it gives an error about Python 2 being end of life. See this pull request on the linkchecker project.
• This project is automatically rebuilt using the latest version weekly; the project's Dockerfile has not been updated since Summer 2019.
• This project automatically outputs as CSV.

See this project on the Docker Hub.
