Has anyone used gatekeeper without keycloak? Works ok? Thinking about integrating it with one login

regarding:
https://github.com/cloudposse/bastion
I see that if you add slack notification, webhook token will be in env vars...

wouldn't that be safer to login using another user than root? to hide it?

even if it's an alpine docker with minimal commands

it's just tricker to orchestrate and in the end, all the webhook can do is post messages. Of course, that can be used for phishing and other things, but don't see any way an unprivileged user couldn't game it.

oh, and the idea with bastion is to mount a passwd file so users aren't root.

yep agree but they are bound to root on bastion. instead of user without sudo

no, sshd should be handling that like any other system

sshd runs as root so it can drop perms to the user logging in

yes, the container itself runs as root

but that's the only way sshd can have the right permissions to change uid

if we had the container run as nobody for example, then sshd could not change uid to something like UID 1001

by the way noticed the make is not working. Strange the make build:latest will fail in the project. Did I miss something?

I grabbed instead the latest build

I think just run “make build”

@Jeremy G (Cloud Posse) on our team is also curious if we can do this?

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) It isn't possible today but seems easy to add support for. Could you expand more on your use-case(s) though?
