Hi all,

as I'm running a lot of docker containers in my "self-hosted cloud", I'm also a little bit worried about getting malicious docker containers at some points. And I'm not a dev, so very limited capabilities to inspect the source code myself.

Not every docker container is a "nextcloud" image with hundred of active contributors and many eyes looking at the source code. Many Self-Hosted projects are quite small, and Github accounts can be hacked, etc. ...

What I'm doing in the moment, is:

Project selection:
- only select docker projects with high community activity on GitHub and a good track record

Docker networks:
- use separate isolated networks for every container without internet access
- if certain APIs need internet access (e.g. Geolocation data), I use an NGINX-proxy to forward this domain only (e.g. self-made outgoing application firewall)

Multiple LXC containers:
- I split my docker containers into multiple LXC instances via Proxmox, some senitive containers like Bitwarden are running on their own LXC instance

Watchtower:
- no automatic updates, but manual updates once per month and testing afterwards

Any other tips? Or am I worrying too much? ;)
