node-fips

A Dockerfile and helper script to create an Ubuntu 16.04 image with a FIPS compliant 6.3.0 NodeJS build.

Overview

To build the Docker image you must have the Dockerfile and fips.sh script in the same directory! The Dockerfile uses a Ubuntu 16.04 base image, installs some packages needed by the fips.sh script, adds the fips.sh script and runs it. The script takes care of the actual NodeJS and OpenSSL installation and FIPS configuration.

• Node: v6.3.0
• OpenSSL: openssl-1.0.2h
• OpenSSL FIPS Module: openssl-fips-2.0.12

Running FIPS Enabled Container

OpenSSL FIPS mode is OFF by default. It can be turned on by either setting the environment variable:

docker run -it -e "OPENSSL_FIPS=1" --name gcosta/node-fips /bin/bash

OR editing /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and enabling FIPS mode once in the container:

fips_mode = yes
