We’ll be installing Docker and bulid our basic non-secure docker image. In my case I’ll be using Kali LInux 2021 but you can use any linux machine.

I believe the below image would be enough to clear the difference between them, If not please do some more research on it.īy now I am assuming that you all are ready with your Linux instance. It might sound like Virtual Machine but there’s notable difference aside from the fact that docker containers are very light weight in comparison to the virtual machines. The other computers are only required to have docker installed in order to run this container. Docker allows us to wrap our code, dependencies, libraries, files or anything that’s required by the program inside a container and this container is portable. The answer is obvious that the dependencies or libraries the other computer is using is not necessarily same as the one on which the program was built.

Their code would work totally fine on their computer but the same program would break when run on different computer. There used to be one time when developers had to face a lot of dependency issues. I will not be delving deep into what is a docker or how it works but will give you very short brief idea about it. So, without further a do, let’s begin the post. If you want a detail explanation of each topic covered in this blog, I would totally recommend to look at his course. This blog post actually was my notes that I prepared while doing the Course by The link to the Course will be listed below the post. We’ll be gradually improving our Dockerfile and build a docker image with better security by the end of this post. We’ll be discussing various security best practices such as Avoiding root user accounts, Copying only the needed files, Use of multi staged builds and many more. The title might be confusing to many since in this blog post we won’t be looking at attacking or pentesting Docker Containers but we’ll look at defences and best practices to protect docker containers from security issues.

So, I welcome you all to the blog post on Docker Build Stage Security Best Practices. Hi Dear Readers, hope you all are safe and doing good.
