Verifying & Validating a Docker Container
Verifying & Validating a Docker Container - Lemmy.World
So, this has always bugged me. How do you validate a Docker container? No one wants to pull a laced up container, so there has to be a way one can check. Of course, sticking to original docker containers from Docker Hub would be one method I suppose. Is there some kind of scan one can do? I do this on my Windows computer; scan before installing. Besides looking at code that I would have no idea what is going on, what protocols do you guys use?
Secrets Management
Secrets Management - Lemmy.World
Lately, I’ve been thinking of implementing a secrets management system such as Infiscal, etc. Does anyone use this or something similar like Hashicorp? How hard would it be to deploy on a pre-existing set up? How does that work? Do you call the required secret in your Docker compose? What makes a secret manager more secure than pulling secrets from an .env file? Which secret manager is the most popular/better among selfhosters?
Logwatch
Logwatch - Lemmy.World
In looking for an app to view logs that doesn’t require a lot of overhead, I stumbled upon Logwatch. After running it through it’s paces, it seems to be pretty capable from docker, fail2ban, to sys logs. I got to wondering if there are other such log viewers I could try that are in the same genre. Logwatch doesn’t greate pretty graphics and dialed out dashboards, but it’s fairly quick, I can view from a range of dates and times, and a variety of logs. I checked out GoAcces, but it seemed geared towards web related logs like webpage hits, etc. With other options requiring elastisearch, databases, etc, they just seemed heavy for my application. Anyone have any suggestions. So far, Logwatch does what it says on the tin, but I’m curious what others have tried or still use.
