Docker Security Testing Setup

I want a repeatable Docker-based test bed on my laptop where I can spin up my in-house Python programs and immediately probe them for security weaknesses. You will containerise the code, wire in the scanners, and leave me with a single command that builds, runs and reports.

Here’s the flow I imagine:

• Containerisation – create a clean Dockerfile (or docker-compose if you prefer) that pulls in the required Python runtime, installs dependencies and mounts my source code so I can iterate quickly.
• Security focus – we’ll decide together which threats matter most; I’m happy to lean on your expertise around vulnerability scanning, access control and data privacy.
• Tooling – I’m open to OWASP ZAP, Nikto, Bandit or anything else you recommend. What matters is an automated report at the end of every run.
• Documentation – a short README that explains setup, commands, how to add new scanners and how to read the results.

Acceptance criteria: the environment builds from scratch on a fresh machine, runs my sample script, executes the selected security checks and outputs a clear summary (pass/fail or risk score) to the console and a timestamped file.

If you enjoy hardening Python code and have a knack for tidy Docker workflows, let’s get started.
