INTRODUCTION 📢

Pocket ID is a simple OIDC provider that allows users to authenticate with their passkeys to your services.

SYNOPSIS 📖

What can I do with this? This image will run pocket-id rootless and distroless, for maximum security. It also contains a quick fix1 to quiet done the logging of gin.

IMPORTANT

• This image runs as 1000:1000 by default, most other images run everything as root
• This image has no shell since it is distroless, most other images run on a distro like Debian or Alpine with full shell access (security)
• This image does not ship with any critical or high rated CVE and is automatically maintained via CI/CD, most other images mostly have no CVE scanning or code quality tools in place
• This image is created via a secure, pinned CI/CD process and immune to upstream attacks, most other images have upstream dependencies that can be exploited
• This image works as read-only, most other images need to write files to the image filesystem
• This image is a lot smaller than most other images

If you value security, simplicity and the ability to interact with the maintainer and developer of an image. Using my images is a great start in that direction.
