Senior DevOps review – production Docker Compose setup

Overall: strong structure and documentation. A few blockers will prevent a successful build/run today, and several production hardening items are recommended.

Blockers (must fix)

1. Frontend Dockerfile: build context + npm install
   • File: docker/frontend/Dockerfile
   • L12: RUN npm ci --only=production → Vite and tooling are devDependencies; build will fail. Use RUN npm ci instead.
   • L38: COPY ../docker/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf → This copies from outside the build context (./frontend), which Docker disallows. Since you already mount nginx.conf at runtime in docker-compose.yml, remove this COPY line from the Dockerfile.

High-priority production hardening
2) Pin images and Helios source

• Avoid floating tags for reproducibility.
• docker-compose.yml: replace latest/multiarch-latest with explicit versions (examples—adjust to your tested versions):
  • Nimbus: statusim/nimbus-eth2:v24.2.2
  • Prometheus: prom/prometheus:v2.53.0
  • Grafana: grafana/grafana:10.4.3
• docker/helios/Dockerfile: pin repo to a tag/commit and shallow clone. Example:

  ARG HELIOS_REF=v0.6.4
  RUN git clone --depth 1 --branch ${HELIOS_REF} https://github.com/a16z/helios.git \
      && cd helios && cargo build --release

3. Enforce resource limits under docker compose

   • deploy.resources is ignored by docker compose (non‑Swarm). To actually enforce limits, use compose-recognized fields like mem_limit and cpus.
   • Example (Nimbus):

     services:
       nimbus:
         # ...
         mem_limit: "6g"
         cpus: "2.0"

   • Repeat with appropriate values for Helios/Prometheus/Grafana.

4. Log rotation for container logs

   • Prevent unbounded json-file growth:

     services:
       nimbus:
         logging:
           driver: json-file
           options:
             max-size: "100m"
             max-file: "5"

   • Apply similarly to other services.

5. Safer env loading in scripts

   • File: scripts/docker-deploy.sh
   • L139–141 and L155–157: export $(cat .env.production | ...) breaks on spaces/quotes and can leak. Prefer:

     set -o allexport
     . ./.env.production
     set +o allexport

   • Alternatively, use env_file per service in compose.

6. Helios data path and user

   • docker/helios/Dockerfile creates /root/.helios and then switches to user helios. Prefer a user home dir (e.g., /home/helios/.helios) and chown that path; update entrypoint and compose volume accordingly.
   • docker/helios/entrypoint.sh: L40 hardcodes /root/.helios/$NETWORK; align with /home/helios/.helios/$NETWORK if you change the Dockerfile.

7. Frontend Nginx hardening (optional but recommended)

   • If staying on ports 80/443, consider at least:

     frontend:
       security_opt:
         - no-new-privileges:true
       cap_drop:
         - ALL

   • If you can move to high ports or use setcap, run as non-root (nginx user) and adjust permissions accordingly.

8. TLS and redirects

   • nginx.conf has HTTPS and HSTS commented. For production, enable HTTPS, add HTTP→HTTPS redirect, and HSTS once certs are installed.

9. Dev compose port binding

   • docker-compose.dev.yml: bind dev ports to loopback to avoid accidental exposure:

     ports:
       - "127.0.0.1:3000:3000"
       - "127.0.0.1:8545:8545"

10. Frontend .dockerignore for the ./frontend build context

• Add a frontend/.dockerignore to speed builds and avoid context bloat:

  node_modules
  .vite
  coverage
  *.log
  

Notable positives

• Localhost-bound monitoring in prod compose, clear health checks, solid docs/Makefile targets, and thoughtful backup coverage. Separation of dev/prod is well done.

Questions

• TLS termination: Nginx directly or a reverse proxy in front? If direct, I can submit a patch to enable the HTTPS block + redirect and HSTS.
• Helios version: do you have a known-good tag/commit to pin for HELIOS_REF?
• Resource ceilings: any preferred CPU/mem caps beyond the examples (e.g., Nimbus 6–8G, Helios 1–2G)?
• Grafana credentials: confirm GRAFANA_PASSWORD will be set in .env.production.

If you’d like, I can push a small follow-up patch addressing the two blockers and add the reproducibility/hardening tweaks as separate commits for easy review.
