Infinispan Overview

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

Use Infinispan to run a distributed, in-memory data grid for fast caching and data storage in a containerized environment. Infinispan supports clustering, replication, and persistence, and exposes REST and Hot Rod endpoints so applications can read and write data with low latency at scale.

Try It Out

To take the Minimus Infinispan image for a test run, start a server and interact with it over its REST API.

Start the server

We will want to mount a data directory to persist cluster state across restarts. Since the image runs as the non-root user 65532, we need to first create the data directory and grant it write access:

mkdir -p datadir && chown -R 65532:65532 datadir

Next, run the Infinispan server, creating an admin user with the USER and PASS environment variables and mounting the data directory:

docker run -d --name minimus-infinispan \
-p 11222:11222 \
-e USER="admin" -e PASS="changeme" \
-v $(pwd)/datadir:/opt/infinispan/server/data \
reg.mini.dev/infinispan

Check the logs to confirm the server has started:

docker logs -f minimus-infinispan

You should see logs that end with a confirmation such as:

INFO  [o.i.SERVER] ISPN080001: Infinispan Server 16.2.1 started

Create a cache

Use the REST API to create a distributed cache called mycache:

curl -u admin:changeme --digest -X POST \
"http://localhost:11222/rest/v2/caches/mycache?template=org.infinispan.DIST_SYNC"

Add and retrieve a cache entry

Write a key-value pair to the cache:

curl -u admin:changeme --digest -X POST \
http://localhost:11222/rest/v2/caches/mycache/mykey \
-H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
-d "myvalue"

Read the value back:

curl -u admin:changeme --digest -X GET \
http://localhost:11222/rest/v2/caches/mycache/mykey

You should see myvalue returned.

Technical Considerations

The Infinispan image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image.

Infinispan built by Minimus:

Runs as a non-root user 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.
