USER appuser
CMD ["python3", "app.py"]This example demonstrates how ACL2 can be used to:
- Define security constraints as structured data with verified properties
- Generate Dockerfiles that satisfy these constraints
- Verify operations against allowed security policies
- Ensure user privileges are properly constrained
- Prove theorems about security properties of generated Dockerfiles
The generated Dockerfile includes:
- Verified base image selection
- Restricted user permissions (only appuser allowed)
- Controlled network access (none)
- Memory and CPU limits
- Secure command execution
This approach ensures that any generated Dockerfile meets specified security requirements before deployment.
