Therefor, **Dockscribe** was born._\u003cbr/\u003e\n\nThis script will scan for all of your currently running docker containers, source descriptions from dockerhub and github, then output the results. In some cases, if the docker container is a dependency for a parent container (ie as \"immich-machine-learning\" for immich) it will fallback to the parent base description.\n\n## Dependencies:\n\nDockscribe will automatically download `jq` by either using apt get, homebrew (mac os), or downloading from the static binary. \n\n_jq is built around the concept of filters that work over a stream of JSON._\n\u003ca id=\"download\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n## Install Instructions \n1.
