Stack 1 of 7 toward 100. Apicurio keeps versioned artifacts with compatibility rules: Avro, Protobuf and JSON Schema for the streaming side, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI and GraphQL for the service side. It does NOT fill a gap in the Kafka stacks. Redpanda already ships a Confluent-compatible registry and kafka-ui is wired to it — measured, `redpanda:8081/subjects` answers 200. What Apicurio adds is breadth and governance: groups, compatibility rules, and artifact types that are not Kafka payloads. It also serves `/apis/ccompat/v7`, so a producer written against Redpanda's registry works here unchanged. Four containers, because of the UI. In 3.x the web UI is a separate image and a single-page app: it reads REGISTRY_API_URL at startup, writes it into config.js, and the BROWSER then calls that URL. An in-cluster address fails in every browser; a second hostname means a second Access application plus CORS. An nginx in front serves the UI and forwards /apis to the registry under one hostname, which makes both same-origin and neither problem exists. Storage is SQL against its own Postgres. Upstream's in-memory option says plainly that "all data is lost when the container image is restarted", and every spin-up recreates containers. Verified locally against real containers: all four healthy, the rendered config.js carried https://apicurio.example.com/apis/registry/v3, a registered Avro artifact came back from the ccompat API as ["orders-value"]. Four guards in test_stack_conventions.py, each mutation-tested.
Stack 2 of 7 toward 100.
Streamlit runs one entrypoint script per process, so the naive stack is
one container per app. This one runs a launcher instead: Home.py walks
the mounted directories, builds an st.Page per file and hands the list to
st.navigation. One container serves every app, and a new app is a new
file rather than a new service. The walk runs on every rerun, so a file
added to the workspace repo appears after a browser refresh.
Two sources, and the separation is load-bearing. The examples come from
stacks/streamlit/apps/ read-only. The workspace repo is cloned to
/srv/workspace, deliberately OUTSIDE the scan root, and only its
streamlit/ and nexus_seeds/streamlit/ directories are read — that repo
also holds Kestra flows, marimo notebooks and dbt models, and a recursive
scan would list every one of them as a Streamlit app.
No image to pull: Docker Hub has no streamlit/streamlit (checked —
"object not found") and upstream tells you to write a Dockerfile. This
one adds duckdb, plotly and psycopg2 so an app can read the shared
Postgres or a Parquet file without waiting on PyPI at container start.
The shipped example lists the shared Postgres tables, runs a query and
charts it. Its connection is read-only at the session level, so a
mistyped UPDATE is refused by PostgreSQL rather than by a check in the
app.
Rehearsed against real containers, not asserted:
discovered: {'Examples': 1}, health endpoint "ok"
AppTest: page ran, listed public.sales, default SQL built from it,
Run returned the three seeded rows
read-only: "cannot execute UPDATE in a read-only transaction"
workspace: 2 of 4 planted files listed — _helper.py skipped,
kestra/flows/*.py never scanned, .git never scanned
entrypoint: run 1 cloned, run 2 pulled ("Already up to date"),
same HEAD
Four guards, each mutation-tested. The $$-escaping one exists because the
first draft used ${FORGEJO_USERNAME}, which Compose expands from the
host's .env at config time — the clone would have been skipped silently.
Stack 3 of 7 toward 100. The R counterpart to the streamlit stack.
No launcher here, because Shiny Server already is one: it serves a
directory of apps and renders an index of them. So the only decision is
what ends up in that directory — the image's own sample apps, the
examples from stacks/shiny/apps/, and a symlink to shiny/ inside the
Forgejo workspace clone. The shipped index.html is removed so the root
serves that index rather than upstream's welcome page, which would hide
every app behind a URL you had to know already.
Only shiny/ is linked in, and the clone stays outside the served tree:
site_dir serves static files too, so linking the repository in would
publish every file in it, .git included, over HTTP.
The rehearsal found a defect no static reading would have: a DANGLING
workspace symlink takes down the whole index page, not just its entry.
With a repository that has no shiny/ directory — every repository until
somebody adds one — the root answered
An error has occurred / Invalid application configuration.
ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/srv/shiny-server/workspace'
so the link is now guarded on its target, and a stale one is removed.
It also showed that the image runs under s6: /etc/cont-init.d copies the
container environment into Renviron.site and the service wrapper honours
APPLICATION_LOGS_TO_STDOUT. The entrypoint therefore ends in `exec /init`
rather than calling the shiny-server binary, which starts the server but
skips both.
R packages come from a DATED Posit Package Manager snapshot, not its
`latest`. p3m serves Ubuntu binaries for this release, so the whole layer
installs in 21 seconds measured, and the date pins what a rebuild gets.
amd64 only — every rocker/shiny tag lists one architecture. Fine for the
cx43 server; an Apple Silicon build needs --platform linux/amd64.
Rehearsed against real containers:
index lists 01_hello…11_timer, examples/, sample-apps/, and
workspace/ only once the repo has a shiny/ directory
example app HTTP 200, rendered the query panel (not the
"no password" warning), so the env var reaches R
workspace app HTTP 200 through the symlink, served its own markup
database 3 seeded rows back through RPostgres; UPDATE refused
with "cannot execute UPDATE in a read-only transaction"
Four guards, each mutation-tested.
Stack 4 of 7 toward 100.
One node, deliberately. Cassandra's reason to exist is horizontal scale
and there is one machine here — but a single node still gives the whole
data model: partition keys, clustering columns, a table per access
pattern, and the consequences of choosing them badly. No web UI; CQL on
9042, with a firewall rule for external clients.
The image does not authenticate. Its entrypoint substitutes exactly
eight keys into cassandra.yaml and `authenticator` is not among them, so
the stock AllowAllAuthenticator survives and an unmodified container
accepts any client with no credentials at all. The entrypoint here
rewrites authenticator and authorizer before handing over, and an admin
hook then creates nexus-cassandra and drops the built-in `cassandra`
superuser, whose password is `cassandra`.
Four things the rehearsal found that no reading would have:
1. The hook cannot key on the CQL port. CassandraRoleManager creates
the default superuser on a BACKGROUND task 70 s after the native
transport opens, so the first version signed in as an account that
did not exist yet and failed every statement. It now waits for an
account that can actually log in — ours if an earlier run made it,
the default otherwise.
2. `nodetool status` reports UN while the CQL port still refuses
connections: UN at 50 s, native transport at 60 s. The healthcheck
uses `nodetool statusbinary`.
3. mem_limit 2g is OOM-killed at startup (exit 137, OOMKilled=true)
even with a 1 GB heap. A started node settles at ~2.4 GiB RSS, so
the limit is 3g. Cassandra also derives BOTH the heap and
MaxDirectMemorySize from /proc/meminfo — the host's memory, not the
container's limit — and asked for 4009M of direct memory unasked.
4. CASSANDRA_SEEDS: "cassandra" does not start. The seed lookup
happens before the node is reachable under that name:
"Seed provider couldn't lookup host cassandra" / "lists no seeds".
The image's default, the node's own broadcast address, is correct
for a single node.
The hook was also rendered and run VERBATIM against a fresh container
rather than approximated: cold start -> configured (78 s), second run ->
already-configured, one role left, and `cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra`
refused. That run is also what caught the hook body needing a raw string
— without it Python ate the \" escapes and the CQL arrived with the role
name unquoted.
Five guards and three renderer tests, each mutation-tested.
Stack 5 of 7 toward 100. Stack number 100.
The catalog and nothing else: what tables exist, what columns they have,
where their files live. No UI, no query engine — Spark, Trino and Flink
all speak its Thrift protocol on 9083 and each brings its own execution.
It is the alternative to Lakekeeper rather than a companion. Lakekeeper
serves the Iceberg REST catalog; this serves the Hive one, which the Hive
table format and the older half of the ecosystem expect. Running both is
the point: the same data behind each, and a course can compare them.
The stack is small. Getting the upstream image to do its job was not, and
all four findings came from running it rather than reading about it:
1. NO POSTGRESQL DRIVER. `ls /opt/hive/lib | grep -iE 'postgres|mysql'`
is empty; the only driver shipped is Derby, which would put the
catalog inside the container. The Dockerfile adds the JDBC driver,
pinned by version and sha256.
2. IT LOGS ITS OWN SECRETS. The image entrypoint begins with `set -x`,
so anything it expands is echoed. With the JDBC password in
SERVICE_OPTS, `docker logs` printed ConnectionPassword=<value>
twice — in a public repo. The configuration is now written to
hive-site.xml before that entrypoint is reached; measured afterwards
at zero occurrences of either secret.
3. HIVE_CUSTOM_CONF_DIR IS DEAD. The documented way to supply your own
configuration is consumed with `find ... -exec ln -sfn`, and the
image has no `find`. The step fails silently, the shipped Derby
hive-site.xml survives, and schematool then runs the PostgreSQL
script against Derby:
Syntax error: Encountered "statement_timeout"
So the file goes straight into /opt/hive/conf.
4. S3A IS IN THE IMAGE BUT OFF THE CLASSPATH. hadoop-aws and the AWS
SDK sit in tools/lib, which the entrypoint adds only for
hiveserver2. Creating a table with an s3a:// LOCATION fails with
ClassNotFoundException: S3AFileSystem — and then, once fixed, with
NoAuthWithAWSException until R2 credentials are supplied. The
metastore resolves a location at CREATE time, EXTERNAL or not, which
is the opposite of what I assumed when I wrote the first draft.
Verified end to end against a real object store: Thrift connect, create
database, create an EXTERNAL table at s3a://datalake/hive/sales, then
read it back out of the metastore's own PostgreSQL —
TBL_NAME | TBL_TYPE | LOCATION
----------+----------------+---------------------------
sales | EXTERNAL_TABLE | s3a://datalake/hive/sales
Four guards, each mutation-tested. No admin hook: the image creates its
own schema on first start.
Stack 6 of 7 toward 100.
MindsDB presents other systems as schemas: connect a PostgreSQL, a file or
a model provider, then SELECT from it and JOIN across them. Two APIs — an
HTTP SQL endpoint with an editor, and the MySQL wire protocol, so DBeaver
or a BI tool connects to it as if it were MySQL.
TWO THINGS TO KNOW, both stated plainly in the docs page rather than
buried.
First, upstream has moved on. The repository `mindsdb/mindsdb` now
redirects to `mindsdb/mindshub` — a different product — and the last
MindsDB release is 26.1.0 from 2026-04-23. This stack pins that release.
It works, everything below was measured against it, and it will not get
fixes. The docs point at Trino for anyone who wants the federated-SQL half
from something maintained.
Second, authentication is not a nicety here. Measured on this image:
/api/sql/query wire as mindsdb, no password
without MINDSDB_PASSWORD answers it CONNECTS
with it 401 Access denied
An unauthenticated MindsDB is not a dashboard left open; it is an SQL
engine that can open connections to every other database in the
deployment. The renderer refuses an empty password for that reason. One
oddity that looks like a contradiction and is not: the container's own
config file prints "user": "mindsdb", "password": "" either way — the env
vars are what govern.
Rehearsed against real containers throughout:
startup up in ~8 s, healthcheck command exit 0
auth 401 unauthenticated, 200 after /api/login
wire nexus-mindsdb connects; mindsdb/"" refused
federation CREATE DATABASE against a real PostgreSQL, then
SELECT region, amount FROM pg.sales -> 2 rows, over BOTH
the HTTP API and the MySQL wire
metadata 21 tables in its own Postgres, not the SQLite default
Three guards, each mutation-tested.
Stack 7 of 7 toward 100.
The Hadoop-era SQL workbench, and still one of the most complete browser
editors: schema tree, autocomplete, saved queries, charts over results.
Pointed here at the engines that already exist rather than at HDFS —
PostgreSQL, Trino and ClickHouse, which are the three whose drivers are
actually in the image (checked with pip list, not assumed). HDFS, HBase,
Oozie, Impala and Solr are blacklisted; nothing backs them here and their
tabs would be permanently broken.
Three defects in the image, each measured:
1. A PUBLISHED SECRET KEY. z-hue-overrides.ini ships a hardcoded
Django secret_key — kasdlfjknasdfl3hbaksk3bwkasdfkasdfba23asdf,
readable by anyone who pulls the image. Django signs session cookies
with it. The entrypoint writes a file carrying a generated
50-character key instead, and the renderer refuses an empty one.
2. IT TERMINATES ITS OWN SUPERVISOR. Without an init the container
exits 143 seconds after start:
gunicorn_cleanup_utils WARNING Found orphaned process: PID 33,
CMD: .../python3.11 ./build/env/bin/supervisor
Reproduced on three tags AND on the stock image with no
configuration of ours. The cause is exact, from
cleanup_orphaned_processes in the image: it terminates any Hue
process whose `parent.pid == 1`, and without an init the supervisor
that started gunicorn is exactly that. `init: true` puts tini at
PID 1 and the same image is up in ~8 s.
3. THE FIRST VISITOR BECOMES ADMINISTRATOR. Hue makes the first
account registered through the web UI a superuser. The hook seeds
nexus-hue-admin instead, and a re-run rotates the password rather
than leaving a stale hash, so a rotation in Infisical converges.
A fourth, smaller one: the shipped conf file is root-owned 0644 while the
container runs as `hue`, which can unlink it but not overwrite it. The
entrypoint does `rm -f` first; without that it exits on "Permission
denied".
Rehearsed against real containers:
startup login page up ~8 s with init, exit 143 without
migrations ran against its own Postgres
interpreters all three parsed and registered, with the right
interfaces and URLs
postgres the exact configured URL returns the seeded rows, run
through Hue's own Python
hook rendered VERBATIM and executed: created, then
already-configured, and a login with the ROTATED password
returns 302 with an authenticated session
That last run is also what caught the hook body needing a raw f-string —
without it Python ate the \" escapes, the inner snippet's quotes closed
the shell string early, and the hook reported `failed`. Same class of bug
as the Cassandra hook two commits ago.
Four guards, each mutation-tested.
Six findings, all acted on. One is a permission regression the new stacks
introduced; the rest are correctness.
1. append_forgejo_workspace_block forced mode 0644, which SILENTLY WIDENED
the two new .env files it touches. _render_streamlit and _render_shiny
render at 0600 because they carry the shared PostgreSQL password, and
this helper then rewrites the same file to add FORGEJO_PASSWORD — so
both secrets ended up readable by every account on the server. It now
preserves the file's own mode; the five older targets render at the
0644 default and are unaffected. New test, mutation-checked.
2. _render_hue did not validate hue_admin_password. With it empty the
admin hook reports skipped-not-ready and says nothing else, and Hue
hands the superuser account to whoever opens the URL first — a silent
regression of exactly what the hook exists to prevent.
3. The cqlsh example in docs/stacks/cassandra.md expanded
NEXUS_CASSANDRA_PASSWORD on the HOST, where it is unset, so it handed
cqlsh an empty password. Rewritten with the single quotes that make it
expand inside the container, and both forms measured:
'single' -> theRealPassword
"double" -> <empty>
4. The Streamlit example app held a cached connection forever, so a
PostgreSQL restart left every later rerun failing on a dead handle. It
now reopens. Verified by closing the cached connection by hand:
conn.closed = 1, and the next query returns its rows.
5. An app file called home.py would have taken the url_path the welcome
page owns. "home" is now pre-claimed; verified that the file still
appears, under a distinct path, and the navigation builds.
6. Both new hooks bounded their readiness loops with a counter
incremented per sleep, which never charges the attempts themselves —
a cqlsh connection or a curl with --max-time 5 — against the deadline.
Switched to $SECONDS, the pattern the repo's own wait_for helper uses.
Measured with the bound cut to 10s: both exit at 10.1s.

`codecov/patch` failed on #908 at 41.33% of the diff against a 90% target. Reproduced locally against the same diff — 31 of 75 added executable lines — so the number was not a reporting artefact. The cause was plain: of the six env renderers these stacks added, only `_render_cassandra` had a direct test, and neither of the two hook renderers had any. Renderers, in tests/unit/test_service_env.py: _render_apicurio happy path, the subdomain_separator composition, and both fail-fast branches _render_streamlit one value at 0600, and — the point of it — _render_shiny that an EMPTY password does NOT abort, because append_forgejo_workspace_block skips a service whose .env does not exist _render_hive_metastore fail-fast on its database, permissive about object storage _render_mindsdb fail-fast on either account _render_hue fail-fast on each of its three secrets, permissive about engines that are not deployed Hooks, in tests/unit/test_services.py, following the neo4j pattern: a fake `docker` on PATH so bash executes the hook's control flow rather than a test reading the rendered text. cassandra fresh node -> create then drop, in that order; second run already-configured; both accounts refused -> failed with the create step's output withheld, because a CQL error can quote the statement and the statement holds the password; losing a create race -> already-configured; and that `nodetool` is never consulted, since the wait is for an account that can sign in hue created / updated / skipped / failed; the password arrives over stdin and appears in no argv on either side Two of these are guards against a bug that has now happened twice: both hooks need a RAW string, and without it Python eats the \" escapes. Verified by removing each r-prefix — the Cassandra one then renders CREATE ROLE with the role name unquoted (2 tests fail), the Hue one ends its shell string early (1 test fails). Worth recording: the first batch mutation run reported the Cassandra guard as blind. Re-run on its own it failed correctly — the batch script had left the file in the previous iteration's state. Exactly the failure mode CLAUDE.md warns about, where a mutation that does not reach the code is indistinguishable from a test with a gap. Patch coverage after: 75/75 added executable lines, measured the same way as the 41.33%.

CodeQL raised py/sql-injection (high) on the `cur.execute(sql)` in the
shipped Streamlit example. Dismissed as "won't fix" — accepted risk, not
a false positive, because the taint flow it describes is real: `sql`
comes from the text area on the page.
It is also the entire feature. The app is a query editor, the same thing
the adminer and cloudbeaver stacks already give the same audience, and
those two allow writes as well.
Two things bound it, and both are checked rather than asserted:
* Cloudflare Access gates the hostname, so "user-provided" here means
an operator who authenticated with email OTP.
* connect() opens the session read-only, so PostgreSQL itself refuses a
write — measured: "cannot execute UPDATE in a read-only transaction".
Parameterising is not an option: a bind parameter substitutes a VALUE,
and what arrives here is a whole statement.
No behaviour changes. The comment sits at the flagged line so the next
CodeQL pass, and the next reader, find the reasoning where the alert
points rather than in a dismissal note nobody sees from the code.
Six of the seven stacks were spun up on the real server. Apicurio,
MindsDB and Shiny came up correct; three did not, and none of the three
was reachable from a local rehearsal.
1. HUE REFUSED EVERY LOGIN WITH A BARE "CSRF error" PAGE.
TLS terminates at the tunnel, so Django only learns the real scheme
from X-Forwarded-Proto. Without it, it computes the expected CSRF
origin as http://<host> while the browser sends https://<host>. Its
own words, from a reproduction built after a first wrong guess:
Forbidden (Origin checking failed - https://hue.example.com does not
match any trusted origins.): /hue/accounts/login
Confirmed on the server, where CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS held only
`.cloudera.com` and SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER was None.
Fixed with secure_proxy_ssl_header=true AND
[[session]] trusted_origins=$HUE_DOMAIN. Either alone is enough —
measured separately, both 302 — and both are set so a proxy that stops
sending the header does not lock everybody out. HUE_DOMAIN comes from
_render_hue via service_host(), like Apicurio's.
2. THE HIVE METASTORE COULD NOT WRITE ITS OWN WAREHOUSE.
The image runs as `hive` (uid 1000) and a bind mount arrives
root-owned. Creating a managed table failed on the server with
MetaException: file:/opt/hive/data/warehouse/probe_db.db/local_sales
is not a directory or unable to create one
The container now starts as root, chowns the warehouse and its own
hive-site.xml — written under umask 077, so otherwise unreadable — and
drops straight back with setpriv, since this image has neither gosu
nor su-exec. The PostgreSQL sidecars never hit this because their
image starts as root, chowns, and drops to uid 70 itself.
Worth recording: the first attempt to verify this locally used a
macOS bind mount, where the chown silently no-ops and the directory
stayed root-owned. That test proved nothing. Redone with a named
volume, which starts root-owned like the server's directory: after the
entrypoint it is hive:hive, the java process runs as hive, and the
local table that failed on the server is created.
3. THE EXAMPLE APPS REPORTED A MISSING STACK AS A FAULT.
With `postgres` not among the enabled services, the Streamlit example
showed
could not translate host name "postgres" to address
which is an infrastructure fact dressed as an error. Both example apps
now check whether the host resolves at all first, and say plainly that
the stack is not running in this deployment. Verified both ways: with
no postgres on the network an info banner and no exception; with one,
the table list and query still work.
Five guards, each mutation-tested. One existing guard needed repairing
rather than relaxing: it located the image entrypoint by the exact string
`exec /entrypoint.sh`, which the setpriv change replaced.
Local CodeRabbit round on 50fff96: 4 findings, 1 dismissed. 1. THE READ-ONLY SESSION IS A DEFAULT, NOT A GUARANTEE. Both example apps said PostgreSQL "refuses a write", and the docs said so too. Measured against a real database: plain UPDATE -> refused SET default_transaction_read_only = off -> SUCCEEDED UPDATE after that SET -> SUCCEEDED So it stops an accident, not an attacker. Reworded in both apps and both docs pages to say exactly that, with the bypass spelled out, and with the reason it is the right level here: adminer and cloudbeaver already give the same audience unrestricted writes, and Cloudflare Access is what decides who reaches any of them. The comment beside the CodeQL dismissal leaned on the same overstated claim and is corrected with it — that one matters most, since it is the rationale a future reader will check the alert against. 2. THE APICURIO COMPOSE HEADER CLAIMED A BACKUP THAT DOES NOT EXIST. It said "s3_restore dumps it like MLflow's". Apicurio is not in s3_restore.standard_targets() — checked. Its own docs page already said the opposite and correctly, so the two contradicted each other. The header now states what is true: the directory survives a snapshot teardown, a rebuild teardown loses it, and whether the schemas earn a pg_dump is a decision still to make. 3. THE hive-metastore `rm -f` COMMENT WENT STALE IN THE COMMIT BEFORE THIS ONE — it explained that `hive` cannot overwrite a root-owned file, which stopped being the reason when the entrypoint moved to root. The `rm -f` is still needed, for a different reason now stated: writing over the shipped file would inherit its 0644, and this one holds the database password and the R2 keys. DISMISSED: a suggestion to validate HUE_DB_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_PASSWORD and CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD as alphanumeric, mirroring the Cassandra check. That check exists because Cassandra's value is interpolated into a single-quoted CQL literal, where a quote ends the statement. Hue's land in an ini file, which has no such surface, and all three come from `random_password` with `special = false`. It would be a validator with no failure mode behind it.

Add a fail-fast guard for the database password.
APICURIO_DOMAIN is written by the environment renderer, so the missing-domain claim does not apply to the supported deployment path. However, APICURIO_DB_PASSWORD is rendered as an empty string when the configured password is empty. PostgreSQL can then reject initialization, leaving apicurio-db unhealthy and blocking the stack.
Add a required Compose variable guard to fail before startup:

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-1392
Do not expose Cassandra before the bootstrap hook removes the default superuser.
9042:9042 binds CQL on all host interfaces. After Cassandra creates the built-in cassandra role, clients allowed by the firewall can authenticate with cassandra/cassandra until the hook creates nexus-cassandra and drops that role. If the hook times out or the drop fails, the default superuser remains.
Remove the base binding and apply the external firewall override only after the hook reports configured or already-configured.
Remove the bootstrap-time host binding

Escape configuration values before writing hive-site.xml.
If HIVE_DB_PASSWORD contains & or <, the here-document writes invalid XML and schema initialization cannot start. The same operation inserts the R2 values at Lines 104–106. The environment renderer checks that the database password is nonempty, but it does not restrict these characters. Encode each value as XML element text before writing the file, without enabling shell tracing for secrets. (w3.org)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Duplicate url_path values break the whole launcher.
The label prefix at Line 73 is applied only once, and the prefixed value is never checked again. Both workspace sources share the label Workspace. So nexus_seeds/streamlit/report.py and streamlit/report.py both become workspace_report when an example report.py also exists. Nested paths can collide too: a/b.py and a_b.py both map to a_b. st.navigation rejects duplicate URL paths. When that happens, every page on the server fails to render, including Home.
Add a numeric suffix until the path is unique:
🐛 Proposed fix
url_path = str(relative.with_suffix("")).replace("/", "_")
if url_path in seen:
url_path = f"{label.lower()}_{url_path}"
+ base, n = url_path, 2
+ while url_path in seen:
+ url_path = f"{base}_{n}"
+ n += 1

What is here
.pyit findsEvery stack was rehearsed against real containers
Not written and asserted — started, connected to, queried, torn down. That is where the following came from, none of which a unit test would have caught:
Shiny — a dangling
workspacesymlink takes down the entire index page, not just its own entry. With a repository that has noshiny/directory — every repository until somebody adds one — the root answeredInvalid application configuration / ENOENT. The link is now guarded on its target.Cassandra — three separate ones.
CassandraRoleManagercreates the default superuser on a background task 70 s after the CQL port opens, so the first version of the admin hook signed in as an account that did not exist yet and failed every statement; it now waits for an account that can actually log in.nodetool statusreportsUNwhile the port still refuses connections (50 s vs 60 s), so the healthcheck usesstatusbinary. Andmem_limit: 2gis OOM-killed at startup even with a 1 GB heap — Cassandra sizes both the heap andMaxDirectMemorySizefrom/proc/meminfo, which is the host's memory, not the container's limit.Hive Metastore — four things the upstream image does not do: it ships no PostgreSQL driver (only Derby); it echoes
SERVICE_OPTSinto the container log because its entrypoint starts withset -x, which printed the database password twice;HIVE_CUSTOM_CONF_DIRis a dead path because the image has nofind; andhadoop-awssits in the image but off the metastore's classpath, so ans3a://location fails withClassNotFoundException. That last one also corrected a wrong assumption of mine — the metastore resolves a table'sLOCATIONat create time, EXTERNAL or not.Hue — the image ships a hardcoded, published Django
secret_key, and it terminates its own supervisor at startup. The second is exact rather than suspected:gunicorn_cleanup_utils.cleanup_orphaned_processesterminates any Hue process whoseparent.pid == 1, and without an init the supervisor that started gunicorn is precisely that. Reproduced on three tags and on the stock image.init: truemakes the predicate false.MindsDB — without
MINDSDB_USERNAME/MINDSDB_PASSWORDthe SQL endpoint answers unauthenticated requests and the MySQL wire accepts usermindsdbwith an empty password from anywhere onapp-network. That is not a dashboard left open; it is an SQL engine that can open connections to every other database in the deployment.Streamlit — the first draft used
${FORGEJO_USERNAME}in the compose entrypoint, which Compose expands from the host's.envat config time. The clone would have been skipped silently. There is now a guard for the whole$$class.Two things worth flagging before merge
MindsDB's upstream has moved on.
mindsdb/mindsdbnow redirects tomindsdb/mindshub, a different product, and the last MindsDB release is 26.1.0 from 2026-04-23. This stack pins it. It works — federated queries against a real PostgreSQL were verified over both APIs — and it will not get fixes.docs/stacks/mindsdb.mdsays so plainly and points at Trino for anyone who wants that half from something maintained.Cassandra is one of the heaviest stacks here at a 3 GB limit, measured rather than chosen. It is not a core stack and is enabled deliberately.
Testing
tests/unit: 3869 passed, pre-commit clean. Thirty-one new guards, each mutation-tested — broken deliberately, and confirmed to fail for that reason.Two admin hooks (Cassandra, Hue) were rendered and executed verbatim against real containers rather than approximated. That is what caught both needing raw strings: without the prefix Python eats the
\"escapes, and the Cassandra one produced CQL with the role name unquoted while the Hue one reportedfailed.This has not had a real spin-up yet. The
mem_limitsum grew noticeably with Cassandra, and the server has 16 GB.Local CodeRabbit round
