Docker Socket Proxy - CI/CD Security & Granular Access Control

Secure Docker proxy for CI/CD, DevOps and multi-tenant environments with advanced and granular filtering system.

A professional Docker socket proxy with advanced regex filtering, specifically designed to secure CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.) and cloud-native environments. Inspired by Tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy, implemented in high-performance Go with Gin and Resty.

🐳 Docker Hub: hypolas/dockershield 📦 GitHub: hypolas/dockershield

🎯 Main Use Cases

🔧 CI/CD & DevOps

Ideal for securing your CI/CD pipelines by exposing only the necessary Docker functionalities:

✅ GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins: Limit allowed Docker actions
✅ Secure Docker-in-Docker (DinD): Control build, push, run
✅ Mandatory private registry: Force usage of your internal registries
✅ Ban :latest tag: Enforce semantic versioning
✅ Complete audit: Structured logs of all operations

☁️ Cloud Platforms & Multi-tenant

Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Nomad: Isolation between namespaces/tenants
PaaS & Container-as-a-Service: Granular control per client
Shared environments: Strict security and isolation

🏢 Enterprise & Production

Zero-trust architecture: Least privilege principle applied
Compliance & Audit: Complete traceability of operations
Multi-layer security: Protection against privilege escalation

✨ Main Features

🚀 Why This Proxy?

This Docker proxy offers advanced security for your Docker environments through:

Policy enforcement and RBAC for Docker API
Admission control for containers with regex filters
Zero-trust architecture applied to Docker socket
Multi-tenant isolation with granular namespace control
Container escape prevention via volume and privilege restrictions
Complete audit trail of all Docker operations

Ideal for cloud-native security, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, PaaS, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps).

🎯 Granular Access Control

ACL per endpoint: Enable only necessary Docker endpoints
Advanced filters with regex: Precise control over volumes, containers, images, networks
🆕 Filter priority: Advanced filters (DKRPRX__*) can override ACL restrictions
Content filtering: Inspect and validate requests before forwarding
Flexible configuration: JSON or environment variables (priority)

🔐 Multi-Layer Security

Docker socket protection: Blocked by default to prevent privilege escalation
Self-protection: Proxy protects itself against any manipulation
Read-only mode: Disable POST/DELETE/PUT by default
Auto-detection: Docker API version auto-detected

🛠️ Advanced Filter Examples

# Block mounting sensitive directories
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__DENIED_PATHS="^/etc/.*,^/root/.*,^/home/.*"

# Allow only images from a private registry
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__ALLOWED_IMAGES="^registry.company.com/.*"

# Block :latest tag
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__DENIED_TAGS="^latest$"

# Block privileged containers
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__DENY_PRIVILEGED="true"

# Require specific labels
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__REQUIRE_LABELS="env=production,team=backend"

🆕 NEW: Advanced Filters Override ACL

Advanced filters now have priority over basic ACL rules! This allows fine-grained control:

# Example: Allow ONLY private registry pulls, even with IMAGES=0
export IMAGES=0  # Disable all image operations by default
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__ALLOWED_REPOS="^registry\.company\.com/.*"

# Result:
# ❌ docker pull nginx              → Blocked (public registry)
# ✅ docker pull registry.company.com/nginx → Allowed (matches filter)

See docs/ADVANCED_FILTERS.md for complete guide.

📋 Configuration

Configuration is done via environment variables:

Basic Configuration

Variable	Description	Default
`LISTEN_SOCKET`	🔒 Recommended: Unix socket to listen on (format: `unix:///path` or `/path`). Takes priority over `LISTEN_ADDR`. More secure than TCP.	-
`LISTEN_ADDR`	TCP listen address (less secure, use `LISTEN_SOCKET` if possible)	`:2375`
`DOCKER_SOCKET`	Path to Docker socket (formats: `unix:///path`, `/path`, or `tcp://host:port`)	`unix:///var/run/docker.sock`
`LOG_LEVEL`	Log level (debug, info, warn, error)	`info`
`API_VERSION`	Docker API version (auto-detected if not set)	Auto-detection
`SOCKET_PERMS`	Permissions for Unix socket created by proxy (octal format)	`0666`

🔒 Security: Prefer LISTEN_SOCKET (Unix socket) over LISTEN_ADDR (TCP). Unix sockets offer better permission control via the filesystem and avoid network exposure.

Endpoint Access Control

Allowed by default (value: 1):

EVENTS - Docker events
PING - Healthcheck
VERSION - Docker version

Denied by default (value: 0), must be explicitly enabled:

AUTH - Authentication
BUILD - Image building
COMMIT - Container commit
CONFIGS - Swarm configs
CONTAINERS - Container management
DISTRIBUTION - Image distribution
EXEC - Command execution
IMAGES - Image management
INFO - System information
NETWORKS - Network management
NODES - Swarm nodes
PLUGINS - Docker plugins
SECRETS - Swarm secrets
SERVICES - Swarm services
SESSION - Sessions
SWARM - Swarm mode
SYSTEM - Docker system
TASKS - Swarm tasks
VOLUMES - Volume management

HTTP Methods

GET, HEAD: Always allowed (read-only)
POST: Default 0 (set POST=1 to enable)
DELETE: Default 0 (set DELETE=1 to enable)
PUT, PATCH: Default 0 (set PUT=1 to enable)

💡 Usage Examples

Read-only mode (default)

export CONTAINERS=1
export IMAGES=1
./dockershield

Read-write mode

export CONTAINERS=1
export IMAGES=1
export POST=1
export DELETE=1
./dockershield

Listen on Unix socket (recommended for security)

# Listen on Unix socket instead of TCP
export LISTEN_SOCKET=unix:///tmp/dockershield.sock
export CONTAINERS=1
export IMAGES=1
./dockershield

# Test with curl
curl --unix-socket /tmp/dockershield.sock http://localhost/v1.41/containers/json

🔒 Security: LISTEN_SOCKET always takes precedence over LISTEN_ADDR. Unix sockets avoid network exposure and offer better permission control.

⚠️ Docker: If you use LISTEN_SOCKET=unix:///tmp/dockershield.sock, you must mount the corresponding directory in volumes: -v /tmp:/tmp. The path in the unix:///path format must match the mounted volume.

Architecture

With a Docker agent:

Proxy configuration sample:

services:
  dockershield:
    build: .
    image: hypolas/dockershield:latest
    container_name: dockershield
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - /tmp:/tmp  # ⚠️ IMPORTANT: must match the path in LISTEN_SOCKET
    environment:
      # Basic configuration (unix:// format recommended)
      - LISTEN_SOCKET=unix:///tmp/dockershield.sock
      - DOCKER_SOCKET=unix:///var/run/docker.sock

⚠️ Important: The mounted volume (/tmp:/tmp) must match the path defined in LISTEN_SOCKET. If you use LISTEN_SOCKET=unix:///tmp/dockershield.sock, you must mount /tmp:/tmp.

🔐 Advanced Filtering System

The proxy's strength: an extremely granular and powerful filtering system.

🎯 Precise Control with Regex

Unlike basic proxies, this proxy allows fine-grained control of every aspect of Docker operations via regex patterns:

📦 Volume Filters

# Allow only specific named volumes
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__ALLOWED_NAMES="^data-.*,^app-.*,^logs-.*"

# Block mounting sensitive system directories
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__DENIED_PATHS="^/etc/.*,^/root/.*,^/sys/.*,^/proc/.*,^/var/run/.*"

# Allow only bind mounts in /data
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__ALLOWED_PATHS="^/data/.*"

# Restrict to local drivers
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__ALLOWED_DRIVERS="local"

🐳 Container Filters

# Allow only images from private registry with semantic versioning
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__ALLOWED_IMAGES="^registry.company.com/.*:v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$"

# Block any image with :latest or :dev tag
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__DENIED_IMAGES=".*:(latest|dev|test)$"

# Require container names prefixed by environment
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__ALLOWED_NAMES="^(prod|staging|dev)-.*"

# Require mandatory labels
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__REQUIRE_LABELS="env=production,team=backend,cost-center=IT-001"

# Block privileged containers and host network
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__DENY_PRIVILEGED="true"
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__DENY_HOST_NETWORK="true"

🖼️ Image Filters

# Allow only approved registries
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__ALLOWED_REPOS="^(docker\.io/library|registry\.company\.com)/.*"

# Block insecure registries
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__DENIED_REPOS=".*\.(cn|ru|suspicious)/"

# Allow only versioned tags (semver)
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__ALLOWED_TAGS="^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$"

# Block development tags
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__DENIED_TAGS="^(latest|dev|test|alpha|beta|rc).*"

🌐 Network Filters

# Allow only application networks
export DKRPRX__NETWORKS__ALLOWED_NAMES="^app-.*"

# Block host network (security)
export DKRPRX__NETWORKS__DENIED_NAMES="^host$"

# Restrict to bridge and overlay drivers
export DKRPRX__NETWORKS__ALLOWED_DRIVERS="bridge,overlay"

📋 Configuration via JSON (Alternative)

For complex configurations, use JSON:

{
  "volumes": {
    "allowed_names": ["^data-.*", "^app-.*"],
    "denied_paths": ["^/etc/.*", "^/root/.*", "^/sys/.*", "^/proc/.*"],
    "allowed_paths": ["^/data/.*", "^/mnt/volumes/.*"]
  },
  "containers": {
    "allowed_images": ["^registry.company.com/.*:v[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+$"],
    "denied_images": [".*:(latest|dev)$"],
    "require_labels": {
      "env": "production",
      "approved": "true"
    },
    "deny_privileged": true,
    "deny_host_network": true
  },
  "networks": {
    "allowed_names": ["^app-.*"],
    "allowed_drivers": ["bridge", "overlay"]
  },
  "images": {
    "allowed_repos": ["^registry.company.com/.*"],
    "denied_tags": ["^latest$"]
  }
}

export FILTERS_CONFIG=./filters.json

Note: Environment variables take priority over JSON.

💡 Advanced Use Cases

Multi-tenant with Isolation

TENANT_ID="client-123"
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__ALLOWED_NAMES="^${TENANT_ID}-.*"
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__ALLOWED_NAMES="^${TENANT_ID}-.*"
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__REQUIRE_LABELS="tenant=${TENANT_ID}"
export DKRPRX__NETWORKS__ALLOWED_NAMES="^${TENANT_ID}-.*"

Strict Production Environment

# Only versioned images from private registry
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__ALLOWED_IMAGES="^registry.prod.company.com/.*:v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$"

# Only mounts in /data/prod
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__ALLOWED_PATHS="^/data/prod/.*"

# Mandatory labels
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__REQUIRE_LABELS="env=production,approved=true,security-scan=passed"

# Enhanced security
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__DENY_PRIVILEGED="true"
export DKRPRX__CONTAINERS__DENY_HOST_NETWORK="true"

CI/CD with Restrictions

# Allow build but not latest
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__DENIED_TAGS="^latest$"

# Allow only CI registry
export DKRPRX__IMAGES__ALLOWED_REPOS="^registry.ci.company.com/.*"

# Block sensitive volumes
export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__DENIED_PATHS="^/(etc|root|home|sys|proc)/.*"

The filtering system allows as precise control as needed for your environment!

🔒 Security by Default

The proxy applies several protections by default to prevent privilege escalation:

🛡️ Docker Socket Protection

The following paths are blocked by default:

/var/run/docker.sock
/run/docker.sock

🛡️ Proxy Container Protection

The dockershield container itself is protected against any manipulation:

❌ Cannot stop/restart the proxy container
❌ Cannot modify the proxy container
❌ Cannot delete the proxy container

🛡️ Proxy Network Protection

If the proxy uses a dedicated network, it is also protected.

⚙️ Configuration

# Proxy container name (default: dockershield)
export PROXY_CONTAINER_NAME="dockershield"

# Proxy network name (optional)
export PROXY_NETWORK_NAME="dockershield-network"

🔓 Disabling (not recommended)

To disable all protections:

export DKRPRX__DISABLE_DEFAULTS="true"

To explicitly allow Docker socket:

export DKRPRX__VOLUMES__ALLOWED_PATHS="^/var/run/docker\\.sock$"

⚠️ Security Warnings

NEVER expose this proxy on a public network
NEVER mount the Docker socket in an unsecured container
Enable only necessary endpoints
Use read-only mode when possible
Mount Docker socket as read-only when possible (:ro)
Use advanced filters for granular control

🧪 Tests

Integration Tests (Recommended)

Comprehensive test suite with 19 tests across 5 scenarios:

cd tests/integration
chmod +x run-tests.sh

# Run all scenarios (~2 minutes)
./run-tests.sh all

# Or specific scenarios
./run-tests.sh readonly    # Read-only mode tests
./run-tests.sh volumes     # Volume filter tests with regex
./run-tests.sh images      # Image filter tests with regex
./run-tests.sh security    # Default security tests

What's tested:

✅ ACL rules (CONTAINERS, IMAGES, POST, DELETE, etc.)
✅ Advanced filters with regex patterns
✅ Volume path filtering
✅ Image/container name filtering
✅ Default security (socket blocking, name protection)

See tests/integration/README.md for details.

Manual Testing

TCP mode (default)

# Start proxy with containers in read-only
export CONTAINERS=1
./dockershield

# In another terminal
curl http://localhost:2375/v1.41/containers/json

# Test a denied endpoint
curl http://localhost:2375/v1.41/images/json  # 403 Forbidden

Unix socket mode

# Start proxy on Unix socket
export LISTEN_SOCKET=/tmp/dockershield.sock
export CONTAINERS=1
./dockershield

# In another terminal
curl --unix-socket /tmp/dockershield.sock http://localhost/v1.41/containers/json

# Or with Docker CLI
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///tmp/dockershield.sock
docker ps
