Differentiation

Our angle
There is no automated, 1-click tool that profiles a running Docker container to determine its exact required Linux capabilities and memory usage, and then automatically generates a hardened, least-privilege docker-compose file.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “Maybe half of my containers break. If that happens, I selectively add `cap_add` lines to resolve breakages.”
  • “I knew my setup was insecure but reading this made me realize HOW insecure... I dont fully understand what you did”
  • “I need to do this myself but have dreading it.”
  • “now i just use docker-compose with user: 1000:1000 and drop all caps by default, add back only what breaks.”
  • “default container security is pretty minimal.”
  • “I had a headless chromium container eat all the RAM on my VPS at 3am once and take down everthing else with it. Fun times.”
  • “Is there a guide to aproximate the memory usage limit? How do you estimate that per container/service?”
  • “unpopular opinion but most selfhosted guides are security nightmares written by people who just want it to work”
