The scheduled weekly rebuild was failing because GitHub Actions froze
github.sha at job-queue time. When the Sunday cron queued a job on
March 1 with Feb 23 code (CADDY_VERSION=2.11.0-beta.2), that job ran
two days later on March 3 still using the old code, missing the caddy
version fix that had since landed on main.
Additionally, caddy-security was unpinned, so xcaddy auto-resolved it
to v1.1.36 which requires caddy/v2@v2.11.1 — conflicting with xcaddy's
internally bundled v2.11.0-beta.2 reference.
- Add ref: github.ref_name to checkout step so the rebuild always
fetches current branch HEAD at run time, not the SHA frozen at queue
time
- Add CADDY_SECURITY_VERSION=1.1.36 ARG to pin the caddy-security
plugin to a known-compatible version; pass it via --with so xcaddy
picks up the pinned release
- Add --with github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2@v${CADDY_TARGET_VERSION}
to force xcaddy to use the declared Caddy version, overriding its own
internal go.sum pin for caddy
- Add Renovate custom manager for CADDY_SECURITY_VERSION so future
caddy-security releases trigger an automated PR instead of silently
breaking the build
Fixes weekly security rebuild CI failures introduced ~Feb 22 when
caddy-security v1.1.36 was published.
- Add curl retry mechanism (3 attempts) for GeoIP database download
- Add 30-second timeout to prevent hanging on network issues
- Create placeholder file if download fails or checksum mismatches
- Allows Docker build to complete even when external database unavailable
- GeoIP feature remains optional - users can provide own database at runtime

Upstream database updated by MaxMind. Updates checksum to match
current version from P3TERX/GeoLite.mmdb mirror.
Fixes: Integration test workflow build failures
- Updated Docker Compose files to use digest-pinned images for CI contexts.
- Enhanced Dockerfile to pin Go tool installations and verify external downloads with SHA256 checksums.
- Added Renovate configuration for tracking Go tool versions and digest updates.
- Introduced a new design document outlining the architecture and data flow for dependency tracking.
- Created tasks and requirements documentation to ensure compliance with the new digest pinning policy.
- Updated security documentation to reflect the new digest pinning policy and exceptions.
- tonistiigi/xx:1.9.0 → pinned with digest
- golang:1.25-trixie → pinned with digest (gosu, backend, caddy builders)
- golang:1.25.6-trixie → pinned with digest (crowdsec builder)
- node:24.13.0-slim → pinned with digest (frontend builder)
- debian:trixie-slim → pinned with digest (crowdsec fallback)
All images now have renovate tracking comments for automatic security updates.
This ensures reproducible builds and enables Renovate to notify on new digests.
Go 1.25 defaults to gold linker for ARM64, but clang cross-compiler doesn't
recognize -fuse-ld=gold. Use -extldflags=-fuse-ld=bfd to explicitly select
the BFD linker which is available by default in the build container.
Fixes CI build failure for linux/arm64 platform.
After migrating base image from Alpine to Debian Trixie (PR #550),
integration test scripts were using wget-style options with curl
that don't work correctly on Debian.
Changed curl -q -O- (wget syntax) to curl -sf (proper curl):
waf_integration.sh
cerberus_integration.sh
rate_limit_integration.sh
crowdsec_startup_test.sh
install-go-1.25.5.sh
Also added future phase to plan for Playwright security test helpers
to prevent ACL deadlock issues during E2E testing.
Refs: #550
Migrated all Docker stages from Alpine 3.23 to Debian Trixie (13) to
address critical CVE in Alpine's gosu package and improve security
update frequency.
Key changes:
Updated CADDY_IMAGE to debian:trixie-slim
Added gosu-builder stage to compile gosu 1.17 from source with Go 1.25.6
Migrated all builder stages to golang:1.25-trixie
Updated package manager from apk to apt-get
Updated user/group creation to use groupadd/useradd
Changed nologin path from /sbin/nologin to /usr/sbin/nologin
Security impact:
Resolved gosu Critical CVE (built from source eliminates vulnerable Go stdlib)
Reduced overall CVE count from 6 (bookworm) to 2 (trixie)
Remaining 2 CVEs are glibc-related with no upstream fix available
All Go binaries verified vulnerability-free by Trivy and govulncheck
Verification:
E2E tests: 243 passed (5 pre-existing failures unrelated to migration)
Backend coverage: 87.2%
Frontend coverage: 85.89%
Pre-commit hooks: 13/13 passed
TypeScript: 0 errors
Refs: CVE-2026-0861 (glibc, no upstream fix - accepted risk)
