Overview

Hardens a Docker installation. Please note: this does NOT install Docker. It does not harden images or containers

Module Description

One of Puppet biggest strength's is securing and enforcing your environment. If you decide to run Docker it's very important you secure its configuration files and daemon.

Docker is a great product, but it open to exploitation by savvy hackers. This module will help ensure:

  • Common sense hardening rules are enforced
  • Basic rules to help network performance between containers

Setup

What harden_docker affects

  • Configuration files and directories
  • Docker daemon Configuration
    • Warning A daemon change will restart dockerd. But, only if the service is managed elsewhere.
  • Auditing rules for configuration files and directories

Setup Requirements

This module requires that Docker already be installed.

Beginning with harden_docker

To have Puppet harden docker with the default parameters, declare the [harden_docker][] class:

class { 'harden_docker': }

Usage

You can choose to turn off management of the files and configurations harden_docker manages.

If you are using Swarm you will want to turn off management of live-restore.

class { 'harden_docker':
  enable_live_restore => false,
}
