Sabnock Docker
Sabnock Docker is a synthetic benchmark for testing whether AI agents can repair real Docker, Compose, and containerized CI failures.
It is built for AI engineers, not model hype. Each task contains a broken mini-repository, failing build/runtime logs, an expected fix, and machine-checkable scoring hints.
Why This Exists
Most coding-agent demos look good until the work touches Docker, Compose, dependency resolution, build context, network binding, secrets, or CI logs. Sabnock Docker targets that exact failure class.
The v1 benchmark contains 108 synthetic tasks covering:
- Missing build-context files
npm cilockfile failures- Multi-stage binary copy mistakes
- Compose readiness bugs
.dockerignoreproduction artifact mistakes- Alpine native dependency failures
- Python
src/layout container bugs - Poetry
--no-rootmistakes - Compose bind mounts hiding
node_modules - BuildKit secret handling
apt-get updateordering- Container network binding failures

Dataset Row Shape
Each row has:
{
"id": "sbd-0001",
"split": "seed",
"title": "Python image forgets requirements.txt",
"failure_type": "missing_build_context_file",
"ecosystem": "python",
"difficulty": "easy",
"files": [{"path": "Dockerfile", "content": ["FROM python:3.12-slim"]}],
"failure_log": ["ERROR: Could not open requirements file"],
"build": {"command": "docker build -t sabnock/sbd-0001 ."},
"verify": {"commands": ["docker build -t sabnock/sbd-0001 ."]},
"oracle_patch": ["diff --git a/Dockerfile b/Dockerfile"],
"scoring": {
"must_touch": ["Dockerfile"],
"must_contain": [{"path": "Dockerfile", "text": "COPY requirements.txt ."}],
"must_not_contain": []
}
}
The content, failure_log, and oracle_patch fields are arrays of lines so the dataset stays readable on Hugging Face.
Splits
seed 12 hand-written tasks
train 72 generated training/evaluation tasks
validation 12 validation tasks
challenge 12 harder public challenge tasks
The public challenge split is a placeholder for leaderboard-style scoring. For a serious leaderboard, keep future hidden tasks private and run them in a controlled evaluator.
Local Use
Rebuild the v1 dataset:
python3 scripts/build_dataset.py
Validate the dataset:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli validate
Print benchmark statistics:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli stats
List tasks:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli list
Filter tasks:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli list --ecosystem compose --difficulty medium
Export a broken task to a directory:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli export sbd-0001 /tmp/sbd-0001
Score a proposed patch statically:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli score-patch sbd-0001 fix.patch
Verify with Docker locally:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli verify sbd-0001 --patch fix.patch
The score-patch command applies the patch to a temp copy of the broken repo and checks the final files. The verify command exports the task, applies the patch with git apply, then runs the task's verification commands. It requires Docker for Docker-backed checks.
Render a Markdown report:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli report -o BENCHMARK.md
Score a JSONL agent submission file:
python3 -m sabnock_docker.cli score-submissions submissions.jsonl
See SUBMISSIONS.md and schemas/submission.schema.json for the leaderboard submission format.
Hugging Face Space
Run the browser UI:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 app.py
The Space lets people browse tasks, filter the benchmark, inspect files/logs, score a patch, and view a leaderboard scaffold. Docker execution is intentionally local-first because public hosted Spaces should not run arbitrary Docker builds.
