Harbor Scanner Adapter for Clair

The Harbor Scanner Adapter for Clair is a service that translates the Harbor scanning API into Clair API calls and allows Harbor to use Clair for providing vulnerability reports on images stored in Harbor registry as part of its vulnerability scan feature.

See Proposal: Pluggable Image Vulnerability Scanning for more details.

Configuration

Configuration of the adapter is done via environment variables at startup.

Name	Default Value	Description
SCANNER_LOG_LEVEL	info	The log level of trace, debug, info, warn, warning, error, fatal or panic. The standard logger logs entries with that level or anything above it.
SCANNER_API_SERVER_ADDR	:8080	Binding address for the API HTTP server.
SCANNER_API_SERVER_TLS_CERTIFICATE		The absolute path to the x509 certificate file.
SCANNER_API_SERVER_TLS_KEY		The absolute path to the x509 private key file.
SCANNER_TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY	false	Controls whether an HTTP client verifies the server's certificate chain and host name.
SCANNER_TLS_CLIENTCAS		An array of absolute paths to x509 CA files that will be added to host's root CA set.
SCANNER_API_SERVER_READ_TIMEOUT	15s	The maximum duration for reading the entire request, including the body.
SCANNER_API_SERVER_WRITE_TIMEOUT	15s	The maximum duration before timing out writes of the response.
SCANNER_API_SERVER_IDLE_TIMEOUT	60s	The maximum amount of time to wait for the next request when keep-alives are enabled.
SCANNER_CLAIR_URL	http://harbor-harbor-clair:6060	Clair URL
SCANNER_CLAIR_DATABASE_URL		The Clair database URL, it is used to fetch vulnerability database updated time of the Clair. Its format is postgresql://user:password@host/db?sslmode=disable
SCANNER_STORE_REDIS_URL	redis://harbor-harbor-redis:6379	Redis server URI for a redis store.
SCANNER_STORE_REDIS_NAMESPACE	harbor.scanner.clair:store	A namespace for keys in a redis store.
SCANNER_STORE_REDIS_POOL_MAX_ACTIVE	5	The max number of connections allocated by the pool for a redis store.
SCANNER_STORE_REDIS_POOL_MAX_IDLE	5	The max number of idle connections in the pool for a redis store.
SCANNER_STORE_REDIS_SCAN_JOB_TTL	1h	The time to live for persisting scan jobs and associated scan reports.

Deploy to minikube

1. Configure Docker client with Docker Engine in minikube:

   eval $(minikube docker-env -p harbor)
   

2. Build Docker container:

   make container
   

3. Configure adapter to handle TLS traffic:
   1. Generate certificate and private key files:

      $ openssl genrsa -out tls.key 2048
      $ openssl req -new -x509 \
        -key tls.key \
        -out tls.crt \
        -days 365 \
        -subj /CN=harbor-scanner-clair
      

   2. Create a tls secret from the two generated files:

      $ kubectl create secret tls harbor-scanner-clair-tls \
        --cert=tls.crt \
        --key=tls.key
      

4. Create harbor-scanner-clair deployment and service:

   kubectl apply -f kube/harbor-scanner-clair.yaml
   

5. If everything is fine you should be able to get scanner's metadata:

   kubectl port-forward service/harbor-scanner-clair 8443:8443 &> /dev/null &
   curl -vk https://localhost:8443/api/v1/metadata | jq
