RuView: Closing the Open-Door Docker Default
A pair of pull requests fix a security gap where RuView's Docker setup exposed live sensing and pose data to the network with authentication silently disabled by default, while a separate CI fix keeps image smoke tests working without weakening that new protection.

This is RuView for July 20th, 2026.
Today's activity centers on one issue: RuView's default Docker setup was exposing live sensing and pose data to the network without authentication, and two pull requests move to close that gap for good.
The root problem, tracked in issue 864, was straightforward but serious. The server's entrypoint always bound to all network interfaces, not just the local machine, regardless of whether an API token was configured. Combined with a docker-compose file that published the relevant ports by default, this meant a…
PR 1370, updating the docker entrypoint script, addresses this directly with a fail-closed approach: the server now refuses to bind to a non-loopback address unless an API token is set and a LAN mode flag is explicitly passed. In other words, safe by default, unsafe only by deliberate opt-in. PR 1369 complements…
The second theme is smaller but connected: making sure this new hardening doesn't break automated testing. PR 1364, merged by rUv, fixes a CI issue where post-push asset smoke tests were failing because they passed shell commands as arguments to the now-hardened entrypoint. Since those inspection containers…
