Architecture Overview

MULTI-STAGE BUILD PIPELINE (5 stages)

Kỹ Thuật

Đánh giá

2.1 Stage 1: Application Builder

Mục đích: Build ứng dụng Vite React thành static assets

FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine@sha256:... AS builder

WORKDIR /app

# Setup pnpm with corepack
ENV PNPM_HOME="/pnpm" \
    PATH="$PNPM_HOME:$PATH"
RUN corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@9.12.2 --activate

# Install dependencies with cache mount
COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml .npmrc ./
RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm,target=/pnpm/store \
    pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline

# Copy source and build configuration
COPY tsconfig.json tsconfig.node.json vite.config.ts ./
COPY postcss.config.js tailwind.config.ts biome.json ./
COPY index.html ./
COPY public ./public
COPY src ./src

# Build and clean artifacts
ENV NODE_ENV=production
RUN pnpm build && \
    find dist -type f \( -name "*.map" -o -name ".*" \) -delete && \
    rm -f dist/stats.html

Kỹ thuật 1: Digest-pinned Base Images

FROM node:20-alpine

FROM node:20-alpine@sha256:2d5e8a8a...

Giải thích:

• Tag (20-alpine) có thể thay đổi → supply chain attack
• Digest (sha256:...) immutable → reproducible builds

"Always use digest-pinned images in production to prevent tag mutation attacks"
- OWASP Docker Security Cheat Sheet

Kỹ thuật 2: Corepack thay vì npm install pnpm

RUN npm install -g pnpm@9.12.2

RUN corepack enable && \
    corepack prepare pnpm@9.12.2 \
        --activate

Lợi ích:

• Không cần download từ npm registry
• Corepack built-in Node.js 16+
• Version locking chính xác
• Nhanh hơn ~5-10 giây

Kỹ thuật 3: BuildKit Cache Mount

COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml .npmrc ./
RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm,target=/pnpm/store \
    pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline

Giải thích từng phần:

1. --mount=type=cache: BuildKit cache mount
2. id=pnpm: Cache ID (unique per project)
3. target=/pnpm/store: Mount vào pnpm store location
4. --frozen-lockfile: Không update lockfile (reproducible)
5. --prefer-offline: Ưu tiên cache local

So sánh performance

Build lần 1 (cold cache):
├─ Load base images:   3s
├─ Download packages: 15s
├─ Install deps:      15s
├─ Build app:         34s
└─ Total:            ~64s

Build lần 2 (warm cache):
├─ All stages cached
└─ Total:            0.2s    (99.7% faster)

Cache mount không persist trong image (không tăng size)

Kỹ thuật 4: Layer Optimization

COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml ./
RUN pnpm install
COPY src ./src
RUN pnpm build

COPY . ./
RUN pnpm install && pnpm build

Giải thích Docker Layer Caching:

• Mỗi RUN/COPY = 1 layer
• Layer cache invalidate nếu file thay đổi
• Dependencies thay đổi ít → cache lâu
• Source code thay đổi nhiều → rebuild thường xuyên

Kết quả: 90% builds chỉ rebuild source, không reinstall deps

Kỹ thuật 5: Cleanup Build Artifacts

ENV NODE_ENV=production
RUN pnpm build && \
    find dist -type f \
      \( -name "*.map" -o -name ".*" \) -delete && \
    rm -f dist/stats.html

Artifacts được xóa:

• *.map: Source maps (12-15 MB)
• .DS_Store, .gitkeep: Hidden files
• stats.html: Webpack bundle analyzer

Lý do:

• Source maps: Chỉ cần cho development debugging
• Production không cần expose source code
• Tiết kiệm 12-15 MB

2.2 Stage 2: Nginx Static Binary Builder

RUN strip --strip-all /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx && \
    upx --best --lzma /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx && \

Kỹ thuật 1: SHA256 Verification

ENV NGINX_SHA256=627fe086209bba80a2853a0add9d958d7ebbdffa1a8467a5784c9a6b4f03d738

RUN curl -fSL \
    "https://nginx.org/download/nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}.tar.gz" \
    -o nginx.tar.gz && \
    echo "${NGINX_SHA256}  nginx.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c -

Giải thích:

• sha256sum -c: Verify checksum
• Nếu checksum sai → build fail (detect tampering)

Bảo vệ khỏi:

• Man-in-the-middle attacks
• Compromised download servers
• Corrupted files

Kỹ thuật 2: Minimal Modules

./configure \
    ...
    # Performance features
    --with-threads \
    --with-file-aio \
    --with-http_ssl_module \
    --with-http_v2_module \
    --with-http_gzip_static_module \
    --with-http_stub_status_module \
    --with-pcre \
    --with-pcre-jit \
    # Disable unnecessary modules
    --without-http_charset_module \
    --without-http_ssi_module \

    --without-http_proxy_module \
    --without-http_fastcgi_module \
    --without-http_uwsgi_module \
    --without-http_scgi_module \
    --without-http_grpc_module \
    --without-http_memcached_module \
    --without-http_limit_conn_module \

    --without-http_upstream_random_module \
    --without-http_upstream_keepalive_module \
    --without-http_upstream_zone_module && \
make -j"$(nproc)" && \
make install

Modules được disable

Kết quả: nginx binary từ 22 MB → 5.2 MB (76% smaller)

Kỹ thuật 3: Static Linking

./configure \
  --with-cc-opt='-static -Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections' \
  --with-ld-opt='-static -Wl,--gc-sections'

Giải thích chi tiết:

So sánh Dynamic vs Static

DYNAMIC LINKING:
nginx binary:        1.2 MB
+ libc.so:          2.1 MB
+ libssl.so:        3.5 MB
+ libpcre.so:       0.8 MB
+ libz.so:          0.3 MB
─────────────────────────────
Total:              7.9 MB
Dependencies:       5 files

STATIC LINKING:
nginx binary:       5.2 MB
─────────────────────────────
Total:              5.2 MB
Dependencies:       0 files ✓

Trade-off:

• No dependency hell
• Works on FROM scratch
• Larger binary size
• Can't share libs between apps

Kỹ thuật 4: UPX Compression

# Strip symbols
RUN strip --strip-all /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

# UPX compression
RUN upx --best --lzma /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

# Verify still works
RUN /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -V

Chi tiết từng bước:

• Bước 1: Strip symbols: 5.2 MB → 4.8 MB (8% reduction)
• Bước 2: UPX compression: 4.8 MB → 2.1 MB (56% reduction)
• Bước 3: Verify binary vẫn hoạt động

UPX Trade-offs

Kết luận:

• Production: Recommended (network > CPU)
• Development: Skip (faster iteration)

2.3 Stage 3: Asset Compression

Mục đích: Pre-compress static assets (gzip + brotli) để nginx serve trực tiếp

FROM alpine:${ALPINE_VERSION}@sha256:... AS compressor

RUN apk add --no-cache brotli gzip findutils

WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist

# Parallel compression: gzip + brotli for all text-based assets
RUN find dist -type f \
    \( -name "*.html" -o -name "*.css" -o -name "*.js" -o \
       -name "*.json" -o -name "*.svg" -o -name "*.xml" \) \
    -print0 | xargs -0 -P"$(nproc)" -I {} sh -c 'gzip -9 -k -f "{}" && brotli -q 11 -f "{}"'

Kỹ thuật 1: Pre-compression

# Nginx compress on-the-fly
gzip on;
gzip_types text/css application/javascript;

# Compress during build
gzip -9 index.html → index.html.gz
brotli -q 11 index.html → index.html.br

# Nginx serve pre-compressed
gzip_static on;

Compression results thực tế

Trung bình: Brotli tốt hơn Gzip 5-10%, cả hai đều giảm ~75% network transfer

Kỹ thuật 2: Parallel Compression

find dist -type f \( -name "*.js" ... \) -print0 | \
  xargs -0 -P"$(nproc)" -I {} sh -c \
  'gzip -9 -k "{}" && brotli -q 11 "{}"'

Giải thích từng phần:

1. find dist -type f: Tìm tất cả files
2. -name "*.js" -o -name "*.css": Filter theo extension
3. -print0: Null-terminated (handle spaces)
4. xargs -0: Read null-terminated
5. -P"$(nproc)": Parallel = số CPU cores
6. -I {}: Replace string
7. sh -c '...': Execute shell command

Performance so sánh

Sequential compression (1 core):
├─ 150 files × 0.5s = 75 seconds

Parallel compression (8 cores):
├─ 150 files / 8 cores = 19 files/core
├─ 19 files × 0.5s = 9.5 seconds
└─ Speedup: 7.9x

Actual time:
├─ Sequential: 78s
└─ Parallel:   11s  (7.1x faster)

2.4 Stage 4: Minimal Filesystem Preparation

Mục đích: Chuẩn bị filesystem tối thiểu cho FROM scratch

FROM alpine:${ALPINE_VERSION}@sha256:... AS rootfs

# Create directory structure
RUN mkdir -p \
    /rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d \
    /rootfs/usr/share/nginx/html \
    /rootfs/var/log/nginx \
    /rootfs/var/cache/nginx \
    /rootfs/usr/local/nginx/{client_body,proxy,fastcgi,uwsgi,scgi}_temp \
    /rootfs/tmp \
    /rootfs/run && \
    chmod 1777 /rootfs/tmp

# Create minimal user database (nobody user)
RUN echo "nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin" > /rootfs/etc/passwd && \
    echo "nobody:x:65534:" > /rootfs/etc/group

# Copy nginx configuration
COPY nginx.conf /rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY --from=nginx-builder /etc/nginx/mime.types /rootfs/etc/nginx/mime.types
COPY --from=compressor /app/dist /rootfs/usr/share/nginx/html

# Create main nginx.conf
RUN cat > /rootfs/etc/nginx/nginx.conf <<'EOF'
worker_processes auto;
error_log stderr warn;
pid /run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
    use epoll;
    multi_accept on;
}

http {
    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;
    access_log /dev/stdout;

    # Performance optimizations
    sendfile on;
    tcp_nopush on;
    tcp_nodelay on;
    keepalive_timeout 65;
    server_tokens off;

    # Compression
    gzip on;
    gzip_static on;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml image/svg+xml;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
EOF

# Set proper ownership
RUN chown -R 65534:65534 \
    /rootfs/usr/share/nginx/html \
    /rootfs/var/log/nginx \
    /rootfs/var/cache/nginx \
    /rootfs/usr/local/nginx \
    /rootfs/tmp \
    /rootfs/run

Kỹ thuật 1: Rootfs Pattern & Directory Structure

Vấn đề: FROM scratch không có filesystem

Giải pháp: Chuẩn bị rootfs trong Alpine với đầy đủ cấu trúc thư mục

# Build rootfs in Alpine với tất cả directories nginx cần
RUN mkdir -p \
    /rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d \
    /rootfs/usr/share/nginx/html \
    /rootfs/var/log/nginx \
    /rootfs/var/cache/nginx \
    /rootfs/usr/local/nginx/{client_body,proxy,fastcgi,uwsgi,scgi}_temp \
    /rootfs/tmp \
    /rootfs/run

# Copy to final scratch image
FROM scratch
COPY --from=rootfs /rootfs /

Giải thích:

• /rootfs trong Alpine là "staging area"
• Tạo đầy đủ nginx temp dirs (client_body, proxy, fastcgi, uwsgi, scgi)
• Dù disable modules, nginx vẫn expect các dirs này tồn tại
• COPY chuyển toàn bộ cấu trúc sang scratch (không cần Alpine runtime)

Kỹ thuật 2: Minimal User Database

# Create nobody user (UID 65534)
RUN echo "nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin" \
      > /rootfs/etc/passwd && \
    echo "nobody:x:65534:" > /rootfs/etc/group

Giải thích /etc/passwd format:

username:password:UID:GID:comment:home:shell
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin

• x            → password in /etc/shadow (not used)
• 65534        → UID (standard nobody UID)
• 65534        → GID
• /sbin/nologin → no shell (security)

Kỹ thuật 3: Ownership Setup

RUN chown -R 65534:65534 \
    /rootfs/usr/share/nginx/html \
    /rootfs/var/log/nginx \
    /rootfs/var/cache/nginx \
    /rootfs/usr/local/nginx \
    /rootfs/tmp \
    /rootfs/run

Tại sao cần chown?

Final image run as USER 65534:

FROM scratch
COPY --from=rootfs /rootfs /
USER 65534:65534

Nginx (UID 65534) cần write permission:

• /var/log/nginx: Access logs
• /run/nginx.pid: PID file
• /tmp: Temp files

Permission Matrix

Sticky bit (1777) on /tmp: Chỉ owner có thể delete files

2.5 Stage 5: Final Image (FROM SCRATCH)

Mục đích: Tạo minimal production image với zero attack surface

FROM scratch

# Re-declare build args for metadata
ARG BUILD_DATE
ARG GIT_COMMIT=unknown

# OCI metadata labels
LABEL org.opencontainers.image.title="Vite React - Distroless" \
      org.opencontainers.image.description="Distroless minimal image (<6MB) - UPX compressed" \
      org.opencontainers.image.version="2.2.0-distroless-upx" \
      org.opencontainers.image.created="${BUILD_DATE}" \
      org.opencontainers.image.revision="${GIT_COMMIT}" \
      org.opencontainers.image.base.name="scratch" \
      org.opencontainers.image.source="https://github.com/riipandi/vite-react-template" \
      org.opencontainers.image.licenses="MIT OR Apache-2.0" \
      maintainer="contest-2025-optimized"

# Copy static nginx binary and minimal filesystem
COPY --from=nginx-builder /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/sbin/nginx
COPY --from=rootfs /rootfs /

# Run as non-root user (nobody = UID 65534)
USER 65534:65534

EXPOSE 3000

# Lightweight healthcheck using nginx config test
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
    CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx", "-t", "-q"]

STOPSIGNAL SIGTERM

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/nginx"]
CMD ["-g", "daemon off;"]

Kỹ thuật 1: FROM scratch

Giải thích FROM scratch:

FROM alpine     → 7.5 MB base + 100+ packages
FROM debian     → 124 MB base + 400+ packages
FROM scratch    → 0 bytes, không có OS

FROM scratch chỉ chứa:

• Files được COPY vào
• Metadata (LABEL, ENV, etc.)
• Không có shell, package manager, utilities

Yêu cầu để dùng FROM scratch

• Static binary - Không phụ thuộc thư viện động
• Minimal rootfs - Chỉ thêm thư mục/file thực sự cần
• Direct execution - ENTRYPOINT gọi binary trực tiếp
• No runtime tools - Không shell, không debugging tools

Our case:

• Nginx statically linked
• Rootfs prepared in Stage 4
• Binary execution: /usr/sbin/nginx
• Production-only (no debugging)

Security benefits

"The best defense is to have nothing to attack"
- Defense in Depth principle

Kỹ thuật 2: OCI Labels

LABEL org.opencontainers.image.title="Vite React" \
      org.opencontainers.image.version="2.2.0" \
      org.opencontainers.image.created="${BUILD_DATE}" \
      org.opencontainers.image.revision="${GIT_COMMIT}" \
      org.opencontainers.image.base.name="scratch" \
      org.opencontainers.image.licenses="MIT"

OCI Image Spec: Standard metadata format

Lợi ích của labels:

# Inspect image metadata
docker inspect app:contest | jq '.[0].Config.Labels'

# Filter images by label
docker images --filter "label=org.opencontainers.image.title=Vite React"

# Used by registries
# Docker Hub, Harbor, Quay.io display labels

Best practice: Include version, created date, commit hash

Kỹ thuật 3: Non-root USER

USER 65534:65534

Security principle: Least privilege

65534 = nobody:

• Standard UID for unprivileged user
• No special permissions
• Can't modify system files

Comparison

USER root  # or không có USER directive
→ UID 0, có thể làm mọi thứ trong container

USER 65534:65534
→ UID 65534, chỉ write vào owned dirs

Kịch bản khai thác:

1. Kẻ tấn công tìm thấy lỗ hổng RCE (Remote Code Execution) trên nginx
2. Thực thi lệnh shell với quyền USER

Root:   → Có thể ghi đè /usr/sbin/nginx, leo thang đặc quyền
Nobody: → Không thể ghi vào /usr/sbin, thiệt hại bị giới hạn
                

Kỹ thuật 4: HEALTHCHECK

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s \
            --timeout=3s \
            --start-period=5s \
            --retries=3 \
  CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx", "-t", "-q"]

Giải thích từng parameter:

• --interval=30s: Check mỗi 30 giây
• --timeout=3s: Command timeout
• --start-period=5s: Grace period sau start
• --retries=3: Fail sau 3 lần retry

Health check command

HEALTHCHECK CMD curl -f http://localhost:3000/ || exit 1

CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx", "-t", "-q"]
