Using promxy

The Chainguard promxy image contains the promxy server binary. The image is meant to be a drop-in replacement for the existing promxy images built based on upstream Dockerfile.

Promxy requires configuration to be passed - which can be done as follows:

docker run --volume /path/to/config.yaml:/config.yaml cgr.dev/chainguard/promxy
ts=2024-10-29T14:15:10.640Z caller=manager.go:941 level=info msg="Starting rule manager..."
time="2024-10-29T14:15:15Z" level=info msg="promxy starting with HTTP..."

To provide configuration in another path and/or provide additional command line flags, simply pass them as arguments to the image - such as:

docker run ... cgr.dev/chainguard/promxy --config /data/config.yaml --check-config
/data/config.yaml if valid promxy config file syntax

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.

In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev variant.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
