If it’s an open-source project, usually the dockerfiles are available for reading.

Do you audit every line of code that you run in production? If you are trying some new python/django/sql app, are you reviewing all that?

I’d assume with a python based project, you’d be able to at least look at requirements and tell there’s something that sets off red flags. And you are either familiar/trust the maintainer, or you are reviewing the actual python itself?

Beyond that, the dockerfile is essentially just installation instructions for getting it running on a virgin system of X distribution. I wouldn’t call that a black box.

If the container isn’t part of an open source project, then this is a moot point then. The project itself is a black box.

You do you. Speaking for myself, I prefer to understand and be able to trivially inspect and modify the moving parts in the things I deploy so I have a snowball's chance in hell of debugging and fixing things when something inevitably goes wrong.

And all I see is someone taking this conversation way too personally.

You sound like someone who doesn’t want to save 10 minutes of work every day because it might cost you half an hour every month.
