Securing Your Containerized Applications with NGINX
0 likes707 views
The document summarizes Kevin Jones' presentation on securing containerized applications with NGINX. It discusses the benefits of using a reverse proxy for security, NGINX best practices for TLS configuration, and deploying NGINX in Docker containers. It also provides code examples and configurations for setting up NGINX as a reverse proxy, optimizing TLS, and using NGINX as a sidecar proxy.

Let's Encrypt ● A Cron process can update certificates and keys NGINX API Cron (Certbot) ● The certificates and keys can be stored on disk or in memory depending on security requirements ● If you are using NGINX, certificates and keys can be loaded from disk on demand (lazy load) ● If using NGINX Plus, your certificates and keys can be stored in the NGINX Plus key- value database

- 18. Generate stronger DH parameters • This will take a while, be patient • For highest security, It is recommended to use a bit length of 4096 CODE EDITOR $ openssl dhparam -out /etc/ssl/certsdhparam.pem 4096 Generating DH parameters, 4096 bit long safe prime, generator 2 This is going to take a long time ............+.......................+.................................................................. ......................................................................................................... ...........................+............................................................................ ............................................................+........................................... ......................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................+..... .........+...........................+.................................................................
- 20. CODE EDITOR server { # HTTP STS add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max- age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" always; } Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security • Informs browsers to always interact with your site over HTTPS • This will protect your site against various attacks such as downgrade attacks and possible cookie hijacking

- 24. Configure NGINX with Docker Compose • Configure services you want to communicate thru NGINX using "expose" • Link your services together with the "links" option • Then publish your NGINX service using the "ports" mapping CODE EDITOR nginx: build: ./nginx container_name: nginx restart: always links: - login ports: - "80:80" volumes: - ./etc/nginx/conf.d/server.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/server.conf login: build: ./login container_name: login restart: always expose: - "80"
- 25. NGINX Configuration CODE EDITOR user nginx; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { server { listen 80; location /login { proxy_pass http://login:80; } } } Use the proxy_pass directive to configure NGINX to resolve the embedded Docker DNS server; this will support any scaling of your services while using Docker Compose
