+
+A lightweight, secure, and production-ready Docker container combining **Tor**, **Privoxy** (HTTP/HTTPS proxy), **SOCKS5**, and a local **REST control API**.
+
+Source repository: [https://github.com/hapheus/torproxy](https://github.com/hapheus/torproxy)
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **HTTP/HTTPS Proxy (Port 8118)**: Powered by Privoxy, automatically resolving DNS lookups through Tor exit relays to prevent DNS leaks.
+- **SOCKS5 Proxy (Port 9050)**: Standard Tor SOCKS5 interface supporting remote hostname resolution (`socks5h://`).
+- **REST Control API (Port 8080)**: Inspect circuit status, trigger circuit rotation (`/reconnect`), query health diagnostics, and pull Prometheus metrics.
+- **Fail-Closed Security**: Privoxy strictly routes to Tor SOCKS5; if Tor circuits drop, proxy requests fail immediately (500/503) rather than leaking to clearnet.
+- **Authenticated Tor Control**: Local Tor ControlPort is secured using ephemeral 32-byte filesystem cookie authentication.
+- **Non-Root Execution**: Runs under a dedicated, unprivileged system user (`torproxy`), never as root.
+- **Multi-Architecture**: Built natively for `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`, and `linux/arm/v7`.
+- **Zero Breaking Changes**: Guaranteed backward compatibility across minor releases.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: Docker Run
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name torproxy \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:8118:8118 \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:9050:9050 \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
+  hapheus/torproxy:latest
+```
+
+### Option 2: Docker Compose
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  torproxy:
+    image: hapheus/torproxy:latest
+    container_name: torproxy
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:8118:8118"
+      - "127.0.0.1:9050:9050"
+      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verifying Tor Connectivity
+
+Wait a few seconds for Tor to bootstrap, then test:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check REST API status
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8080/status | jq .
+
+# 2. Test HTTP proxy via Privoxy
+curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8118 https://check.torproject.org/api/ip
+
+# 3. Test SOCKS5 proxy (using remote DNS to prevent leaks)
+curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 https://check.torproject.org/api/ip
+
+# 4. Request a new Tor identity / circuit
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/reconnect
+```
+
+---
+
+## REST API Reference
+
+The management API listens on port `8080` (HTTP):
+
+| Endpoint | Methods | Description |
+| -------- | ------- | ----------- |
+| `/status` | `GET` | Tor bootstrap and current verified egress IP address. |
+| `/ip` | `GET` | Current verified Tor egress IP address. |
+| `/health` | `GET` | Multi-subsystem health check (`tor`, `proxies`, `egress`). Returns HTTP 200 when healthy, 503 during bootstrap/errors. |
+| `/diagnostics` | `GET` | Uptime, reconnect counters, bootstrap details, and cache status. |
+| `/metrics` | `GET` | Prometheus exposition format metrics. |
+| `/reconnect` | `POST` (or `GET`) | Triggers `SIGNAL NEWNYM` to establish a new Tor circuit. |
+| `/disconnect` | `POST` (or `GET`) | Disables Tor network traffic (`SETCONF DisableNetwork=1`). |
+| `/connect` | `POST` (or `GET`) | Re-enables Tor network traffic (`SETCONF DisableNetwork=0`). |
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> The management API is unauthenticated by default. Bind it strictly to `127.0.0.1` or place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy if exposed across networks.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration & Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+| -------- | ------- | ----------- |
+| `TORPROXY_LISTEN_ADDRESS` | `0.0.0.0` | Bind address for Privoxy and Tor inside the container. |
+| `TORPROXY_LISTEN_PORT` | `8118` | Privoxy HTTP proxy port. |
+| `TORPROXY_SOCKS_PORT` | `9050` | Tor SOCKS5 proxy port. |
+| `TORPROXY_API_PORT` | `8080` | REST API port. |
+
+---
+
+## Production Hardening
+
+For maximum security in production, run with a read-only root filesystem and drop all Linux capabilities:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  torproxy:
+    image: hapheus/torproxy:latest
+    restart: unless-stopped

+      - /tmp:rw,noexec,nosuid,size=32M
+      - /run:rw,noexec,nosuid,size=16M
+      - /var/lib/tor:rw,noexec,nosuid,size=64M
+      - /var/log/privoxy:rw,noexec,nosuid,size=16M
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:8118:8118"
+      - "127.0.0.1:9050:9050"

+
+## Vulnerability Management and Scanning Policy
+
+To protect users against upstream vulnerabilities and supply chain compromises:
+
+1. **Continuous Automated Scanning**:
+   - Every pull request and merge to `main` undergoes container vulnerability scanning using Trivy.
+   - Images are evaluated against standard CVE databases (Debian Security Advisories, NVD).
+2. **Triage Severity SLA**:
+   - **Critical & High**: Addressed within 7 business days via base image update or upstream package bump.
+   - **Medium & Low**: Triaged during regular monthly release cycles.
+3. **False Positive & Exception Process**:
+   - Any accepted risk or scanner false-positive must be documented in a `.trivyignore` file with an issue link, rationale, and expiration date.
+4. **Base Image Updates**:
+   - The container builds upon `debian:bookworm-slim`. Security patches for `tor`, `privoxy`, `curl`, and `ca-certificates` are pulled directly from Debian security mirrors during build.
+
+---
+
+## Supply Chain Security and Provenance
+
+- **Reproducible Multi-Arch Builds**: Images are built using Docker Buildx for `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`, and `linux/arm/v7`.
+- **Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)**: Release builds generate automated SBOM metadata (SPDX format) embedded in the image attestation.
+- **Provenance Attestations**: Docker Buildx generates SLSA provenance attestations (`mode=max`) guaranteeing build integrity from GitHub Actions.
+- **Minimal Dependencies**: The image intentionally contains no node runtime, pip packages, or third-party binaries. Privoxy, Tor, and standard library Python 3 constitute the entire execution stack.

+# Container Runtime Hardening Guide
+
+This document describes how to deploy `torproxy` with maximum runtime security and least privilege in production environments, without altering application behavior.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Security Architecture & Threat Boundaries
+
+The `torproxy` container is designed with defensive depth:
+- **Dedicated Non-Root User**: The image executes as the unprivileged user `torproxy` (UID/GID assigned during build).
+- **Ephemeral Cookie Authentication**: The Tor ControlPort (`127.0.0.1:9051`) requires an unguessable 32-byte filesystem cookie authenticated per session.
+- **Fail-Closed Forwarding**: Privoxy routes strictly to SOCKS5. If Tor is stopped, requests immediately fail with 500/503 and cannot leak to clearnet.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Hardening Measures
+
+### A. Read-Only Root Filesystem (`read_only: true`)
+Prevent attackers or rogue processes from modifying system binaries or writing persistent malware by mounting the container root filesystem as read-only.
+
+`torproxy` only requires temporary write access to four locations, which should be mounted as memory-backed `tmpfs`:
+- `/tmp`: Used by startup scripts for rendering configuration templates (`privoxy.config`, `torrc`).
+- `/run`: Standard Linux runtime directory.
+- `/var/lib/tor`: Tor ephemeral state, circuit data, and authentication cookie.
+- `/var/log/privoxy`: Privoxy runtime logging.
+
+### B. Dropping Linux Capabilities (`cap_drop: [ALL]`)
+`torproxy` does not require any Linux capabilities (such as `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, or `CAP_CHOWN`). All capabilities can be dropped safely.
+
+### C. Preventing Privilege Escalation (`no-new-privileges:true`)
+Ensures that container processes cannot gain additional privileges via setuid or setgid binaries.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Production Hardened Docker Compose Configuration
+
+The recommended production configuration drops all kernel capabilities and prohibits privilege escalation (available in [`examples/hardened-production/docker-compose.yml`](../examples/hardened-production/docker-compose.yml)):
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  torproxy:
+    image: hapheus/torproxy:latest
+    container_name: torproxy-hardened
+    restart: unless-stopped
+
+    # 1. Prevent privilege escalation
+    security_opt:
+      - no-new-privileges:true
+
+    # 2. Drop all Linux kernel capabilities
+    cap_drop:
+      - ALL
+
+    # 3. Bind published ports strictly to host loopback interface
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:8118:8118"
+      - "127.0.0.1:9050:9050"
+      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Read-Only Root Filesystem (`read_only: true`)**:
+> If your container runtime supports user-owned tmpfs mounts (such as Podman or Docker Compose with `tmpfs: [ /tmp, /run, /var/log/privoxy, /var/lib/tor:uid=...,gid=... ]`), you can additionally enable `read_only: true`. Tor requires `/var/lib/tor` to have mode `0700` owned by the container user (`torproxy`). For universal compatibility across standard Docker installations, `cap_drop: [ALL]` and `no-new-privileges: true` provide complete capability containment.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Verification
+
+After starting the hardened container, verify that security constraints are active:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Verify read-only rootfs (should return "Read-only file system" error)
+docker exec torproxy-hardened touch /etc/test.txt
+
+# 2. Verify non-root execution (should be > 0)
+docker exec torproxy-hardened id -u
+
+# 3. Verify dropped capabilities
+docker inspect --format '{{.HostConfig.CapDrop}}' torproxy-hardened
+# Expected output: [ALL]
+
+# 4. Verify no-new-privileges
+docker inspect --format '{{.HostConfig.SecurityOpt}}' torproxy-hardened
+# Expected output: [no-new-privileges:true]
+
+# 5. Verify proxy functionality
+curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8118 https://check.torproject.org/api/ip
+```
