Test Image#

The test image is provided for testing and development purposes. It does not offer to run the NetHSM process with hardware-based separation (KVM), to encrypt the data store, or to use an external etcd. The connection between the NetHSM process and the integrated key-value store is unencrypted. The image is distributed as OCI image and can be run locally with a compatible executor such as Docker and Podman.

Im Vergleich zur NetHSM-Hardware sind die folgenden Funktionen nicht in der REST-API des Software-Containers implementiert:

  • Network configuration

  • Factory reset

  • Reboot

  • Software update

The image can be obtained from Docker Hub.

Warnung

Do not use the test image under any circumstances for production data and use cases. For production environments with high security demands you must use the production image.

Tagging Policy#

The images in the repository are tagged with the Git commit hash from the main branch of the repository. The latest image is tagged with testing.

Konfiguration#

The image can be configured with the following environment variables.

Environment variable

Beschreibung

DEBUG_LOG

Enables extended logging for NetHSM.

Verwendung#

Der Container kann wie folgt ausgeführt werden.

$ docker run --rm -ti -p 8443:8443 docker.io/nitrokey/nethsm:testing

This will run NetHSM as a Unix process inside the container and expose the REST API via the HTTPS protocol on port 8443.

Wichtig

Der Container verwendet ein selbstsigniertes TLS-Zertifikat. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie die richtigen Verbindungseinstellungen verwenden, um eine Verbindung herzustellen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im Kapitel NetHSM Einführung.
