Distroless FreeNGINX with HTTP/3 and QUIC support🚀

Important

QuicTLS is now deprecated. I made a choice in favor of OpenSSL, since this library natively supports OCSP, PQC and QUIC⚠️

Tip

You can find an example configuration file in the repository for successfully configuring HTTP3 and PQC💡

The Docker image is ready to use:
ghcr.io/ammnt/freenginx:latest
or
docker.io/ammnt/freenginx:latest
or with Docker Compose deploy:

services:
  freenginx:
    image: docker.io/ammnt/freenginx:latest
    user: "101:101"
    read_only: true
    privileged: false
    tmpfs:
     - /tmp:mode=1700,size=1G,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=101,gid=101
    cap_drop:
     - all
    container_name: freenginx
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
      - apparmor:docker-freenginx
      - seccomp:./freenginx-seccomp.json
    volumes:
      - "./conf:/etc/freenginx:ro"
      - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
      - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

Description:

• Base image: Alpine Linux (only ~5 MB);
• Hardened image (secure, minimal and production-ready) - recommended to use in Rootless mode:
  https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/
• Runtime on scratch image - with zero bloat;
• Multi-stage building with statically linked binary;
• Support for hybrid post-quantum key exchange algorithms in elliptic curves (PQC);
• OpenSSL with HTTP/3 and QUIC support:
  https://github.com/openssl/openssl
• HTTP/2 with ALPN support;
• TLS 1.3 and 0-RTT support;
• TLS 1.2 and TCP Fast Open (TFO) support;
• Built using hardening GCC flags;
• NJS and Brotli support;
• PCRE with JIT compilation;
• zlib-ng library latest version;
• Rootless master process (unprivileged container);
• Async I/O threads module;
• "Distroless" image - reduced attack surface (removed SHELL, UNIX tools, package manager etc);
• Removed unnecessary modules;
• Added OCI labels and annotations;
• No excess ENTRYPOINT in the image;
• Slimmed version by Docker Slim tool;
• Image efficiency score 100% according to Dive utility;
• Scanned by vulnerability scanners: GitHub CodeQL, Docker Scout, Snyk, Grype, Dockle and Syft;
• Prioritize ChaCha cipher patch and anonymous signature - removed "Server" header ("banner"):
