HTTPd Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened HTTPd 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.
Try It Out
Take the Minimus HTTPd image for a test run.
In your project folder, create a public HTML directory:
mkdir public-htmlInside the public-html directory, save the index.html example provided by Minimus. This will serve as our HTTPd web-page.
In the same project directory, save the following as a Dockerfile:
FROM reg.mini.dev/httpd:latest
# copy public-html from the local directory to the image
COPY ./public-html/ /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/
EXPOSE 8080Your project directory should now look like this:
project-root/
├── Dockerfile
└── public-html/
└── index.htmlNext, build the custom image. Note that the period . specifies the current directory as the build context:
docker build -t minimus-httpd .Now run your newly-built image minimus-httpd and map port 8080:
docker run -dit \
--name my-site \
-p 8080:8080 \
minimus-httpdThe -dit flags will start the container in detached mode (in the background), interactive mode (with the ability to type into it), and with a TTY (so you can see the input and output).
Visit http://localhost:8080/index.html in your browser to view the welcome page.
Technical Considerations
The HTTPd 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.
HTTPd built by Minimus:
- Runs as non-root by default for a security-first approach that protects against privilege escalation attacks. The public image runs as root.
- Listens on port 8080/TCP by default to support running as a non-root user, but it does not expose the port. The public image listens on and exposes port 80/TCP by default.
- 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.
