Go lang app containerized in Docker with Chainguard image

Welcome to Books CLI: Securely Search Books Using Chainguard Images

Hey everyone, Amir here! 🎉

I'm excited to introduce my latest project, Books CLI. This command-line application, built in Go, allows you to search for books by your favorite authors directly from your terminal. What sets this tool apart is its use of Chainguard Images to ensure that every search is not only fast but also secure.

Why Chainguard Images?

Security is a top priority in today’s software development landscape. Chainguard Images provide a secure, minimal base that is specifically designed to reduce vulnerabilities in Docker containers. This makes Books CLI not just powerful, but also a safer choice for developers.

Key Features

• Search by Author: Simply enter an author’s name to retrieve a list of their books.
• Simple CLI: Easy-to-use interface that requires minimal setup.
• Immediate Results: Get book results instantly without the need for a GUI.
• Secure: Runs in Docker containers powered by Chainguard Images for enhanced security.

Getting Started

Make sure you have Go installed on your machine. If not, you can download it from here.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/books-cli.git

# Build the application using Docker and Chainguard Images
