Stefano Marinelli<p>This morning, once again, I come across an interesting project. I head over to GitHub to take a look.</p><p>I read that the only supported way to use the project is via Docker because "providing installation instructions, given the underlying complexity, would be impossible." Not a fan of that, but okay, I start to understand… So, as I often do, I decide to open the Dockerfile (there’s no Compose). First line:</p><p>FROM alpine:3.14 AS base</p><p>No, your project isn’t "just" complex. It’s running on an outdated and potentially insecure base. And that’s a much bigger problem. It probably means it’s such a mess that updating it is impossible.</p><p>I close the GitHub page and move on with my life. 😆</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdminLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdminLife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Docker</span></a></p>
