Docker-DinD-FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened Docker-DinD-FIPS image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.
Docker-in-Docker (DinD) is a technique for running Docker containers inside another Docker container. DinD is commonly used in containerized CI workflows.
FIPS 140-3 Certification
This image is FIPS-validated to ensure its cryptographic operations meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) required for secure government and regulated environments. Its core cryptographic modules are validated under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) and comply with the FIPS 140-3 standard.
To verify that the FIPS 140-3 provider is configured and active, follow the instructions in the FIPS compliance tab.
Try It Out
Take the image for a test run:
docker run -d \
--privileged \
-p 2375:2375 \
reg.mini.dev/docker-dind-fipsThe --privileged flag is required for the Docker daemon to run inside another container. Mapping port 2375 exposes the Docker API.
Technical Considerations
The Docker-DinD-FIPS image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
Docker-DinD-FIPS built by Minimus:
- Runs as root to support required functions. The public image also runs as root.
- Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.
The Payoff
A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.
- See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
- Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
