  • Using cURL Inside a Docker Container
    2 projects | dev.to | 19 Jan 2025
    If we run the command without -i option (i.e. with only -t option), a pseudo-TTY will be allocated and the shell will start, but no commands can be accepted and we cannot continue the operation because STDIN is disabled. To forcefully exit from a container in this state, we need to send three consecutive SIGINT signals by pressing cmd + . same times. And this exiting does not trigger the automatic container removal provided by --rm option, so we need to trigger it by stopping the container or remove the container directly.
  • A story on home server security
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Jan 2025
    Docker has a known security issue with port exposure in that it punches holes through the firewall without asking your permission, see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/4737

    I usually expose ports like `127.0.0.1:1234:1234` instead of `1234:1234`. As far as I understand, it still punches holes this way but to access the container, the attacker would need to get a packet routed to the host with a spoofed IP SRC set to `127.0.0.1`. All other solutions that are better seem to be much more involved.

  • Comparing 3 Docker container runtimes - Runc, gVisor and Kata Containers
    5 projects | dev.to | 29 Oct 2024
    Originally Docker created only containers. In fact, it used LXC as an "exec driver" which is basically what we call runtime today or at least the closest thing to it. It was deprecated in Docker 1.8.0.
  • You run containers, not dockers - Discussing Docker variants, components and versioning

    The first commit of Docker happened on January 19, 2013. You can still find it on GitHub: https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/a27b4b8cb8e838d03a99b6d2b30f76bdaf2f9e5d
  • You're probably not vulnerable to the CUPS CVE
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Sep 2024
    I think one of the culprits of this bad default is docker containers.

    Since a container runs your code in a network namespace, in that context '127.0.0.1' really means "accessible inside the container, effectively nowhere", and '0.0.0.0' means "accessible only on the local machine" (except that's not actually true, check out this open issue lol https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22054 )

    I think that's one reason for some software's default of 0.0.0.0 - people are cargo-culting from stuff that runs in docker and/or people want there stuff to run in docker and work by default.

  • The Docker Ecosystem Explained

    Docker Engine development has migrated to the Moby Project, an open source framework maintained by the Docker team. Before the migration in 2020, Docker Engine was a maintained fork of the Moby Project that featured select components from it.

    Rancher Desktop allows you to choose between the Moby engine (offered by Continered) and the dockerd engine (offered by Docker) for building, pushing, and running containers. Compared with Docker Desktop, which provides Docker CLI as a CLI tool, Rancher provides both kubectl and nerdctl for managing Kubernetes and containers, respectively.
