Hardening

Security hardening checklist for the RavenmaskOS host and services.

Host Hardening

  • Keep macOS and Colima up to date.
  • Enable disk encryption.
  • Restrict inbound ports to only required services.
  • Use strong passwords and SSO for all web interfaces.

Container Hardening

  • Avoid running containers as root unless required.
  • Mount secrets read-only where possible.
  • Limit container privileges (e.g., no-new-privileges).
  • Pin image versions for production services.

Operational Hardening

  • Enable automated backups and test restores.
  • Monitor for failed logins and suspicious activity.
  • Rotate credentials on a fixed cadence.
  • Document incident learnings and apply fixes.
