This commit enhances the security and efficiency of the Dockerfile used for deploying the Zphisher application. The following improvements were made:

  • Switched to Alpine Linux 3.14 with security-hardened settings to reduce the attack surface and ensure the base image is up-to-date with security patches.

  • Implemented a multi-stage build approach to minimize the final image size and reduce the number of layers, improving build efficiency and security.

  • Utilized environment variables for defining application version (ZPHISHER_VERSION) and other configurable parameters, enhancing flexibility and maintainability.

  • Enhanced permissions and ownership management for application files (zphisher.sh and related scripts) to enforce least privilege access, improving container security.

  • Added a non-root user (zphisher_user) and group (zphisher_group) to run the application inside the container, further reducing potential vulnerabilities.

  • Integrated a healthcheck mechanism to monitor the container's health status, ensuring the application inside is responsive and functioning as expected.

  • Implemented robust error handling during container startup, checking for the existence of critical files (zphisher.sh) and exiting gracefully with appropriate error messages if not found.

These changes aim to provide a more secure, efficient, and reliable Dockerfile setup for deploying Zphisher across different operating systems while adhering to best practices in containerization and security.
