⁠Bitnami Secure Image for OAuth2 Proxy

⁠What is OAuth2 Proxy?

Overview of OAuth2 Proxy⁠ Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

⁠TL;DR

docker run --name oauth2-proxy bitnami/oauth2-proxy:latest

⁠Why use Bitnami Secure Images?

Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise OS Photon Linux⁠. Why choose BSI images?

• Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
• Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
• Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
• Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
• First class support for the internet’s favorite Helm charts

Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in our public catalog here⁠. Note: Some data is only available with commercial subscriptions to BSI⁠.

If you are looking for our previous generation of images based on Debian Linux, please see the Bitnami Legacy registry⁠.

⁠Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs⁠.

⁠Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page⁠.

You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the tags-info.yaml file present in the branch folder, i.e bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml.

⁠Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami oauth2-proxy Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry⁠.

docker pull bitnami/oauth2-proxy:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions⁠ in the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/oauth2-proxy:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the docker build command. Remember to replace the APP, VERSION and OPERATING-SYSTEM path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .

⁠Connecting to other containers

Using Docker container networking⁠, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.

Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

⁠Using the Command Line

⁠Step 1: Create a network

docker network create oauth2-proxy-network --driver bridge

⁠Step 2: Launch the Oauth2-proxy container within your network

Use the --network <NETWORK> argument to the docker run command to attach the container to the oauth2-proxy-network network.

docker run --name oauth2-proxy-node1 --network oauth2-proxy-network bitnami/oauth2-proxy:latest

⁠Step 3: Run another containers

We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK) in the docker run command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.

⁠Configuration

Oauth2-proxy can be configured via config file, command line options or environment variables. Further information⁠

⁠FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images

The Bitnami OAuth2 Proxy Docker image from the Bitnami Secure Images⁠ catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:

• OPENSSL_FIPS: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. yes (default), no.

⁠Logging

The Bitnami oauth2-proxy Docker image sends the container logs to the stdout. To view the logs:

docker logs oauth2-proxy

You can configure the containers logging driver⁠ using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.

⁠Maintenance

⁠Upgrade this image

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of oauth2-proxy, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.

⁠Step 1: Get the updated image

docker pull bitnami/oauth2-proxy:latest

⁠Step 2: Stop and backup the currently running container

Stop the currently running container using the command

docker stop oauth2-proxy

Next, take a snapshot of the persistent volume /path/to/oauth2-proxy-persistence using:

rsync -a /path/to/oauth2-proxy-persistence /path/to/oauth2-proxy-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)

You can use this snapshot to restore the database state should the upgrade fail.

⁠Step 3: Remove the currently running container

docker rm -v oauth2-proxy

⁠Step 4: Run the new image

Re-create your container from the new image, restoring your backup if necessary.

docker run --name oauth2-proxy bitnami/oauth2-proxy:latest

⁠Notable Changes
