I’ve been working on adding security headers to my reverse proxy and so far I believe to have gotten most of them except for Content Security Policies, I honestly can’t find a simplified way to apply a CSP to 20+ docker applications and hope folks of Lemmy know the best way to go about this.

I want to note that I never worked with headers in the past, I tried interpreting the Traefik documentation and Mozilla documentation as well as a bunch of random YT videos but can’t seem to get it right.

    headers:
      headers:
        customRequestHeaders:
          X-Forwarded-Proto: https
        accessControlAllowMethods:
          - GET
          - OPTIONS
          - PUT
        accessControlMaxAge: 100
        hostsProxyHeaders:
          - "X-Forwarded-Host"
        stsSeconds: 31536000
        stsIncludeSubdomains: true
        stsPreload: true
        forceSTSHeader: true # This is a good thing but it can be tricky. Enable after everything works.
        customFrameOptionsValue: SAMEORIGIN # https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options
        contentTypeNosniff: true
        browserXssFilter: true
        contentSecurityPolicy: ""
        referrerPolicy: "same-origin"
        permissionsPolicy: "camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(), usb=()"
        customResponseHeaders:
          X-Robots-Tag: "none,noarchive,nosnippet,notranslate,noimageindex," # disable search engines from indexing home server
          server: "traefik"

    theres no config for it, it listens on port 8080. I need to expose the logs dir, but not done that yet. So all the logs will only be in the container, but you could point a mount at /var/www/html/logs

      Hey there! Following up on this, i got your application started however, it seems that this is more for folks who actually know PHP an HTML and less for folks like myself who just find Docker applications (Invidious, Homepage, RedLib) spin them up and rig them to work with one another so i don’t think this will work for me personally at the moment in time regardless seems like a great tool nonetheless!

      Thanks again!

          Okay so going at it again, i think i now understand the reason for the Docker label now, here is my current docker-compose.yml i made some tweaks to the one from your github but i can’t seem to get a log file to generate.

          I suspected it was a permissions issue on the volume mount so i ran chmod 777 on the ./config/csp directory but still wont get a log file.

          Volume directory permissions:

          user@debian:~/compose$ ls config/ | grep csp; ls config/csp/; ls config/csp/logs/
          drwxrwxrwx  3 user user 4096 Aug  9 09:11 csp
          total 12
          drwxrwxrwx  3 user user 4096 Aug  9 09:11 .
          drwxr-xr-x 44 user user 4096 Aug  8 16:41 ..
          drwxrwxrwx  2 user user 4096 Aug  9 09:04 logs
          total 8
          drwxrwxrwx 2 user user 4096 Aug  9 09:04 .
          drwxrwxrwx 3 user user 4096 Aug  9 09:11 ..
          

          docker-compose.yml:
