[INFRA-521] Remove unused nginx modules and curl - #20
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The upstream image installs the acme, geoip, image-filter, njs and xslt dynamic modules and curl, but no consumer of this image loads the modules or runs curl at runtime. Their libraries are where most of the image's vulnerability reports come from, including libxml2 via xslt and libbrotli via image-filter and curl.

Overview
The upstream nginx image installs several optional modules and curl that nothing built on this image uses. Their libraries account for most of the image's vulnerability reports, and are how the recent Brotli CVE got in. This removes them, so consumers only carry what nginx itself needs.
