  • test(upstream): pin mutual TLS to the daemon end to end
  • test(upstream): pin YAML mutual TLS wiring
  • feat(upstream): deprecate unverified TLS

Changelog

  • 🔒 Added end-to-end mutual TLS coverage for YAML and Docker environment configuration.
  • 🔒 Added validation for CA, server name, certificate, and key configuration.
  • 🔒 Added fail-closed startup behavior for invalid or empty DOCKER_HOST values.
  • 🔧 Added Docker environment resolution for DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, and DOCKER_CONFIG.
  • 🔧 Preserved TCP endpoint base paths and raw URL escaping across proxy, readiness, h2c, hijack, and Docker upgrade requests.
  • 🔧 Preserved the original client route for response filtering and policy decisions.
  • 🔧 Added literal Unix socket parsing and transport-specific warning behavior.
  • ⚠️ Deprecated unverified TLS connections in v2.1 and scheduled removal in v3.0.0.
  • 🗑️ Removed EndpointSpec.TLSSystemRoots.
  • ⚠️ Changed SpecsFromDockerEnv and Dialer-related interfaces and call paths.

Concerns

  • Confirm all implementations and consumers migrate from Dialer to RequestDialer without widening socket access.
  • Verify RawPath remains valid whenever base paths contain encoded separators or other escaped characters.
  • Confirm failover cannot apply a base path from one endpoint to a connection selected from another endpoint.
  • Verify response filtering always uses the restored client-visible request URL.
  • Confirm DOCKER_TLS and DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY precedence matches documented behavior for empty, absent, and non-zero values.
  • Confirm incomplete client certificate pairs fail closed or remain intentionally omitted.
  • Check all public API changes for compatibility requirements before merging into the v2 branch.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change preserves TCP endpoint base paths and escaped path segments across reverse proxy, readiness, h2c, and hijack requests. Docker environment resolution now validates host formats, distinguishes absent values, applies TCP defaults, loads Docker certificates, and selects TLS or plaintext modes. Request-based dialing binds endpoint selection to rewritten requests. Startup errors and TLS deprecation warnings now include transport-specific behavior and structured fields. Tests and documentation cover the new endpoint, environment, upgrade, and migration behavior.

Suggested labels: second-opinion

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b165f

The PR deprecates unverified TLS and expands endpoint handling, but invalid TCP ports can still pass configuration and fail later during connection attempts. The change is mergeable with explicit follow-up to reject ports outside 1–65535 at the configuration boundary.

Add a fuzz target for the new address grammar.

This cohort adds two hand-rolled parsers on a security-sensitive path — parseEndpointAddress and parseDockerHost — and covers them with table cases only. The coding guidelines require fuzz tests for config parsing in app/**/*_test.go. A fuzz target is cheap here because the invariants are strong: parsing must never panic, and a successful unix parse must return the literal address bytes.

🧪 Suggested fuzz target
func FuzzParseEndpointAddress(f *testing.F) {
	for _, seed := range []string{
		"unix:///var/run/docker.sock",
		"unix://relative%2Fsock",
		"tcp://host:2376/gateway%2Fdocker/%2e%2e",
		"tcp://[::1]:2375",
		"/var/run/docker.sock",
		"",
	} {
		f.Add(seed)
	}
	f.Fuzz(func(t *testing.T, raw string) {
		parsed, err := parseEndpointAddress(raw)
		if err != nil {
			return
		}
		switch parsed.network {
		case "unix":
			if parsed.basePath != "" || parsed.rawBasePath != "" {
				t.Fatalf("unix endpoint carried a base path: %+v", parsed)
			}
			if strings.HasPrefix(strings.TrimSpace(raw), "unix://") &&
				parsed.address != strings.TrimPrefix(strings.TrimSpace(raw), "unix://") {
				t.Fatalf("unix address %q is not the literal input bytes of %q", parsed.address, raw)
			}
		case "tcp":
			if _, _, err := net.SplitHostPort(parsed.address); err != nil {
				t.Fatalf("tcp address %q is not host:port: %v", parsed.address, err)
			}
		default:
			t.Fatalf("unexpected network %q", parsed.network)
		}
	})
}

Use a table with named subtests instead of ranging over a map.

Both keys map to "1", so this map is a set with random iteration order and no case label. TestSpecsFromDockerEnv_TLSRequiresDockerCA at lines 142-145 has the same shape: a bare loop with no subtest, so the first t.Fatal hides the second case.

392-394: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Port guard is dead in one half and missing a range check.

strconv.Atoi returns 0 on every failure, so parsedPort == 0 never adds anything; the condition is just err != nil. And a numeric-but-out-of-range port such as 99999 passes both url.Parse and Atoi, so DOCKER_HOST=tcp://host:99999 is normalized and only fails later at dial time.

♻️ Validate the port value instead
-	if parsedPort, err := strconv.Atoi(port); err != nil && parsedPort == 0 {
-		return "", fmt.Errorf("invalid TCP port %q", port)
-	}
+	parsedPort, err := strconv.Atoi(port)
+	if err != nil || parsedPort < 1 || parsedPort > 65535 {
+		return "", fmt.Errorf("invalid TCP port %q", port)

- Line 548: Update the “Remote upstreams & failover” documentation entry to show
endpoint TLS options using their correct nested paths: tls.ca_file,
tls.cert_file, tls.key_file, and tls.server_name. Keep the surrounding endpoint
and failover behavior description unchanged.
