I'm looking for advice on how to effectively secure my Docker environment. Currently, I've added my user to the Docker group and set up Searxng using Docker Compose. Both Searxng and Caddy are running on the same external network to be accessible from the Internet. I've also implemented some basic security measures like UFW and Fail2Ban. However, I'm concerned about potential exploits in Searxng or any other software I host, especially regarding the permissions they might have if someone gains access to my Ubuntu host. What are some best practices I can follow to enhance the security of my setup?

It's great that you've started with UFW and Fail2Ban! A few additional steps you might consider include using Docker secrets for sensitive data, implementing network segmentation, and limiting container capabilities. You can also avoid running containers as root and do regular image scans for vulnerabilities. Keeping everything updated is key, too!
Don't forget to enable Docker's user namespace support. This helps you map the container's root user to a non-root user on your host, adding an extra layer of protection. Also, reviewing your Docker Compose files for unnecessary privileges can limit exposure to potential security issues. Good luck!
