Deploying Squirro using Containers#
This page provides instructions on how to deploy Squirro using containers.
Squirro is on the road to containerization. It is our goal to fully support containers starting in Q1 2025. For now, we provide a minimal container image that can be used for testing and development purposes as well for very miminmal production deployments.
For detailed instructions on deploying Squirro using containers, see Squirro Minimal Container Image.
Throughout Q3 and Q4 2024, we will be working on providing a full set of container images for all Squirro components. Stay tuned for updates on our progress.
Release History#
2024-08-11: Initial release of the squirro-minimal and elasticsearch images.
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 which is a hardened and secure base image. Amazon does a great job at keeping their 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. issues.
All images are configured to run commands as a non-privileged user. Unless noted otherwise the user id and group id are 44040.
Futhermore 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.
