Sean (ANGRYxScotsman)andGitHub 1458327638 Containerize docs site tooling for security and update documentation (#4942)
* Containerize the docs site's npm tooling

Run Astro/Starlight dev, build, and preview commands through Docker
(docs/Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, service winutil-astro) instead
of bare npm on the host, and document the required commands and
rationale in docs/README.md.

* Document Docker-only npm policy for agents

Add a Dependency Installs, Builds, And Dev Servers section to
AGENTS.md requiring docs/ tooling to run through Docker rather than
directly on the host, point SPEC.md's Docs Site section at the new
Dockerfile/docker-compose.yml, and renumber the remaining AGENTS.md
sections to stay sequential.

* Harden docs Docker dev environment

Tightened docs-container safety and clarified contributor workflow. The docs Docker image now switches to the non-root `node` user after setting ownership, and compose now binds Astro to `127.0.0.1` instead of all interfaces. Updated AGENTS and docs README instructions to explain the security boundary of the bind mount and to require rebuilding plus `docker compose down -v` after dependency changes so `node_modules` is reseeded correctly.

* Clarify docs secret handling in AGENTS

Updates AGENTS.md to tighten docs security guidance: secrets must not be stored anywhere under `docs/`, because `docs/.dockerignore` only affects image build context and does not protect files from the Docker Compose bind mount used for docs dev/build commands.

* Fix preview command to expose port in Docker

The previous preview command didn't expose the port outside the container. Adding --service-ports and binding to 0.0.0.0 makes the preview server accessible from the host.

# WinUtil Docs
[![Built with Starlight](https://astro.badg.es/v2/built-with-starlight/tiny.svg)](https://starlight.astro.build)
Documentation site for [WinUtil](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil), built with [Astro](https://astro.build) and [Starlight](https://starlight.astro.build). Served at [winutil.christitus.com](https://winutil.christitus.com/).
## 🚀 Project Structure
```
.
├── public/
├── src/
│ ├── assets/

```
Starlight looks for `.md` or `.mdx` files in the `src/content/docs/` directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.
Images can be added to `src/assets/` and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.
Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
## 🧞 Commands
All commands run in a Docker container — there's no need to install Node or npm dependencies on your host. This is deliberate, not just convenience: npm/pnpm/yarn have seen a steady stream of supply-chain attacks (malicious `postinstall`/`preinstall` scripts, credential-stealing packages), so `npm install` and friends never run directly on a contributor's machine here. Note the container still has read-write access to this `docs/` directory (it's bind-mounted for live reload), so this only contains a compromised package to the project folder plus the container itself — it doesn't reach the rest of your host (SSH keys, other repos, cloud credentials elsewhere on disk). Don't keep real secrets in `docs/` as a result.
[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (with Compose) is required — install Docker Desktop (or Docker Engine + the `docker compose` plugin on Linux) and make sure the daemon is running before using any of the commands below.
All commands are run from the `docs/` directory, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |
| :------------------------------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
| `docker compose build` | Builds the dev image (needed after Dockerfile or dependency changes) |
| `docker compose up winutil-astro` | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321` |
| `docker compose run --rm winutil-astro npm run build` | Build the production site to `./dist/` |
| `docker compose run --rm --service-ports winutil-astro npm run preview -- --host 0.0.0.0` | Preview the build locally, before deploying |
| `docker compose run --rm winutil-astro npm run astro ...` | Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check` |
| `docker compose down` | Stop and remove the dev container |
Source files are bind-mounted into the container, so edits on the host are picked up immediately by the dev server — no rebuild needed for normal content or code changes. After changing `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, or the `Dockerfile`, rebuild the image *and* drop the `node_modules` volume, since Docker only seeds a named volume from the image the first time it's created — a plain rebuild leaves the old `node_modules` in place:
```sh
docker compose build
docker compose down -v
docker compose up winutil-astro
```
The first `docker compose up` (or any command before an image exists) builds the image and runs `npm install` from scratch, which can take a few minutes. Subsequent runs reuse the cached image and start almost immediately.
