# CI/CD Docker Image Optimization Plan **Document Version:** 1.0 **Created:** 2026-02-04 **Status:** PLANNING **Priority:** HIGH (addresses 20GB+ registry waste, reduces build time by 70%) --- ## Table of Contents 1. [Executive Summary](#executive-summary) 2. [Current State Analysis](#current-state-analysis) 3. [Problem Statement](#problem-statement) 4. [Proposed Solution](#proposed-solution) 5. [Implementation Plan](#implementation-plan) 6. [Migration Strategy](#migration-strategy) 7. [Testing Strategy](#testing-strategy) 8. [Rollback Plan](#rollback-plan) 9. [Success Metrics](#success-metrics) 10. [References](#references) --- ## Executive Summary ### Current Problems - **20GB+ registry storage usage** from redundant image builds - **2+ hours of compute time per commit** due to 7+ redundant Docker builds - **Wasted CI minutes**: Each workflow rebuilds the same image independently - **Slow feedback loop**: Integration tests delayed by unnecessary builds ### Proposed Solution **Build Docker image ONCE per commit, then reuse across ALL workflows** - **Expected storage reduction:** 85% (3GB instead of 20GB) - **Expected time savings:** 70% (30 minutes instead of 2+ hours per commit) - **Expected cost savings:** 70% reduction in GitHub Actions minutes - **Improved reliability:** Consistent image across all test environments ### Key Changes 1. **Central Build Job**: `docker-build.yml` becomes the single source of truth 2. **SHA-Based Tagging**: All images tagged with `sha-` 3. **Job Dependencies**: All workflows depend on successful build via `needs:` 4. **Auto-Cleanup**: Ephemeral PR/feature images deleted after 7 days 5. **Artifact Distribution**: Build creates loadable Docker tarball for local tests --- ## Research Findings ### Current Implementation Analysis #### Backend Files | File Path | Purpose | Lines | Status | |-----------|---------|-------|--------| | `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go` | Main CrowdSec handler | 2057 | ✅ Complete | | `backend/internal/api/routes/routes.go` | Route registration | 650 | ✅ Complete | #### API Endpoint Architecture (Already Correct) ```go // Current route registration (lines 2023-2052) rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/files", h.ListFiles) // Returns {files: [...]} rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/file", h.ReadFile) // Returns {content: string} rg.POST("/admin/crowdsec/file", h.WriteFile) // Updates config rg.POST("/admin/crowdsec/import", h.ImportConfig) // Imports tar.gz/zip rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/export", h.ExportConfig) // Exports to tar.gz ``` **Analysis**: Two separate endpoints already exist with clear separation of concerns. This follows REST principles. #### Handler Implementation (Already Correct) **ListFiles Handler (Line 525-545):** ```go func (h *CrowdsecHandler) ListFiles(c *gin.Context) { var files []string // Walks DataDir and collects file paths c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"files": files}) // ✅ Returns array } ``` **ReadFile Handler (Line 547-574):** ```go func (h *CrowdsecHandler) ReadFile(c *gin.Context) { rel := c.Query("path") // Gets ?path= param if rel == "" { c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "path required"}) return } // Reads file content c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"content": string(data)}) // ✅ Returns content } ``` **Status**: ✅ Implementation is correct and follows REST principles. #### Frontend Integration (Already Correct) **File:** `frontend/src/api/crowdsec.ts` (Lines 91-94) ```typescript export async function readCrowdsecFile(path: string) { const resp = await client.get<{ content: string }>( `/admin/crowdsec/file?path=${encodeURIComponent(path)}` // ✅ Correct endpoint ) return resp.data } ``` **Status**: ✅ Frontend correctly calls `/admin/crowdsec/file` (singular). #### Test Failure Root Cause **File:** `tests/security/crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts` (Lines 323-355) ```typescript // Step 1: Get file list - ✅ CORRECT const listResponse = await request.get('/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/files'); const fileList = files.files as string[]; const configPath = fileList.find((f) => f.includes('config.yaml')); // Step 2: Retrieve file content - ❌ WRONG ENDPOINT const contentResponse = await request.get( `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/files?path=${encodeURIComponent(configPath)}` // ❌ Should be /file ); expect(contentResponse.ok()).toBeTruthy(); const content = await contentResponse.json(); expect(content).toHaveProperty('content'); // ❌ FAILS - Gets {files: [...]} ``` **Root Cause**: Test uses `/files?path=...` (plural) instead of `/file?path=...` (singular). **Status**: ❌ Test bug, not API bug --- ## Proposed Solution ### Phase 1: Test Bug Fix (Issue 1 & 2) **Duration:** 30 minutes **Priority:** CRITICAL (unblocks QA) #### E2E Test Fix **File:** `tests/security/crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts` (Lines 320-360) **Change Required:** ```diff - const contentResponse = await request.get( - `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/files?path=${encodeURIComponent(configPath)}` - ); + const contentResponse = await request.get( + `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/file?path=${encodeURIComponent(configPath)}` + ); ``` **Explanation**: Change plural `/files` to singular `/file` to match API design. **Acceptance Criteria:** - [x] Test uses correct endpoint `/admin/crowdsec/file?path=...` - [x] Response contains `{content: string, path: string}` - [x] Test passes on all browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) **Validation Command:** ```bash # Test against Docker environment .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e npx playwright test tests/security/crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts --project=chromium # Expected: Test passes ``` --- ### Phase 2: Import Validation Enhancement (Issue 3) **Duration:** 4-5 hours **Priority:** MEDIUM #### Enhanced Validation Architecture **Problem**: Current `ImportConfig` handler (lines 378-457) lacks: 1. Archive format validation (accepts any file) 2. File size limits (no protection against zip bombs) 3. Required file validation (doesn't check for config.yaml) 4. YAML syntax validation (imports broken configs) 5. Rollback mechanism on validation failures #### Validation Strategy **New Architecture:** ``` Upload → Format Check → Size Check → Extract → Structure Validation → YAML Validation → Commit ↓ fail ↓ fail ↓ fail ↓ fail ↓ fail Reject 422 Reject 413 Rollback Rollback Rollback ``` #### Implementation Details **File:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go` (Add at line ~2060) ```go // Configuration validator type ConfigArchiveValidator struct { MaxSize int64 // 50MB default RequiredFiles []string // config.yaml minimum } func (v *ConfigArchiveValidator) Validate(archivePath string) error { // 1.
