Cannot run CodeChecker `check` nor `analyze` on CodeChecker container

[fyrie6870]

I am trying to use the official codechecker docker image and followed the documentation to run the server:

docker run -d \
  -p 8001:8001 \
  -v /home/$USER/codechecker_workspace:/workspace \
  codechecker/codechecker-web:latest

I didn't know what to do next so I assumed you have to copy your project to the workspace directory that gets created via the bindmount. I did that and was again confused on how to run the scan. So I got inside the container using docker exec -it <container_name> bash and tried to run a scan in /workspace/my_project/ with the following command:

CodeChecker analyze compile_commands.json -o my_plist

but that did not work and I was given this output

usage: CodeChecker [-h] {cmd,server,store,version,web-version} ...
CodeChecker: error: invalid choice: 'analyze' (choose from 'cmd', 'server', 'store', 'version', 'web-version')

It looks like I cannot use check nor analyze, what can I do? How do I scan a project if I have a codechecker set up via docker?

@ssadeque464 This docker image can only be used only to run a CodeChecker server. This image doesn't contain the analysis module. There is an open PR to create a docker image for analysis #2888. For now if you want to run analysis see the installation guide how to install CodeChecker: https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker#install-guide.
