This repository contains a series of files demonstrating bad and good examples in the containerization process using Docker. The goal is to provide clear guidelines on how to securely and efficiently run Docker containers by comparing improper and proper practices.
The repository is organized into directories and files that illustrate bad and good examples of containerization techniques
The bad-examples directory contains scripts that demonstrate poor practices in containerization. These practices include, but are not limited to:
- Running containers with excessive privileges.
- Not restricting capabilities appropriately.
- Using insecure configurations that can expose the host system to risks.
The good-examples directory contains scripts that illustrate best practices in containerization. These practices include:
- Minimizing privileges by dropping unnecessary capabilities.
- Adding only the required capabilities for the container to function.
- Using secure configurations to mitigate potential security risks.
To understand the differences between bad and good practices, you can compare the scripts in the bad-examples and good-examples directories. Each pair of files (e.g., example1.sh in both directories) demonstrates the same functionality but with different security and efficiency considerations.
Contributions are welcome! If you have any suggestions or improvements, please submit a pull request or open an issue.
