Distroless containers

If using a distroless Node.js container then there is no npm or shell installed in the container image.  You must use the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable to run the agent as a required module.

However, be careful when using NODE_OPTIONS since this will run the agent with all node or npm commands and may result in unintended execution resulting in longer start-up times.

Note

The latest Contrast Node.js agent reports libraries and findings even when installed in an application that runs in a distroless container image.

Example:

FROM node:18 as installer
COPY . /juice-shop
WORKDIR /juice-shop
RUN npm i -g typescript ts-node
RUN npm install --omit=dev --unsafe-perm
# install the latest agent
RUN npm install @contrast/agent

RUN npm dedupe

RUN rm -rf frontend/node_modules
RUN rm -rf frontend/.angular
RUN rm -rf frontend/src/assets
RUN mkdir logs
RUN chown -R 65532 logs
RUN chgrp -R 0 ftp/ frontend/dist/ logs/ data/ i18n/
RUN chmod -R g=u ftp/ frontend/dist/ logs/ data/ i18n/
RUN rm data/chatbot/botDefaultTrainingData.json || true
RUN rm ftp/legal.md || true
RUN rm i18n/*.json || true
