Dragonfly-Operator Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened Dragonfly-Operator image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies.

Dragonfly-Operator is a Kubernetes operator that manages Dragonfly deployments in a cluster.

Try It Out

Take the Minimus Dragonfly-Operator image for a test run with Helm.

Prerequisites

A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support (Installation instructions)
kubectl installed and configured

Step 1: Start Cluster

If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions

Step 2: Deploy Chart

Deploy the Dragonfly-Operator container image from Minimus:

helm install dragonfly-operator oci://ghcr.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly-operator/helm/dragonfly-operator \
  --version v1.3.1 \
  --namespace dragonfly-operator-system \
  --create-namespace \
  --set manager.image.repository=reg.mini.dev/dragonfly-operator \
  --set manager.image.tag=latest

Wait for the operator pod to become ready:

kubectl wait -n dragonfly-operator-system \
  --for=condition=Ready pod \
  -l app.kubernetes.io/name=dragonfly-operator \
  --timeout=60s

Confirm that a Minimus image was deployed:

kubectl -n dragonfly-operator-system describe pods | grep Image: | grep dragonfly

You are now ready to deploy a Dragonfly instance using the official guide.

Technical Considerations

The Dragonfly-Operator 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.

Dragonfly-Operator built by Minimus:

Runs as non-root by default for a security-first approach that protects against privilege escalation attacks.
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.
