Deploying Squirro using Containers

This page provides instructions on how to deploy Squirro using containers.

Squirro is on the road to containerization. The goal is to fully support containers starting in Q1 2025. For now, Squirro provides a minimal container image you can use for testing and development purposes, as well as very minimal production deployments.

For detailed instructions on deploying Squirro using containers, see Squirro Minimal Container Image.

Release History

A Note on Security

We guarantee that all container images are scanned for vulnerabilities and are free of critical security issues at the time of release.

All images are based on the Amazon Linux 2023 image, a hardened and secure base image. Amazon does a great job of keeping its base images up-to-date and secure with the least amount of vulnerabilities.

Images are scanned using the Trivy scanner to identify any vulnerabilities or security issues.

All images are configured to run commands as a non-privileged user. Unless noted otherwise, the user and group IDs are 44040.

Furthermore, all images are configured to run in read-only mode to prevent any unwanted changes to the image and to harden the security of the container.
