Open Search MCP

# Secure Deployment Guide ## 🚀 Production Deployment Security Checklist This guide provides a comprehensive security checklist and deployment procedures for the Open Search MCP project in production environments. ## 📋 Pre-Deployment Security Checklist ### 1. Code Security ✅ - [ ] All security scans pass (`npm run security:check`) - [ ] No hardcoded secrets in codebase - [ ] Input validation implemented for all user inputs - [ ] Error handling doesn't expose sensitive information - [ ] Security linting passes (`npm run security:lint`) - [ ] Dependencies have no high/critical vulnerabilities ### 2. Configuration Security ✅ - [ ] All API keys stored in environment variables - [ ] Strong secrets generated for all services - [ ] `.env` files not committed to version control - [ ] Production configuration reviewed and validated - [ ] CORS origins restricted to production domains - [ ] Security headers configured ### 3. Container Security ✅ - [ ] Containers run as non-root user - [ ] Read-only filesystems enabled where possible - [ ] Security options applied (`no-new-privileges:true`) - [ ] Resource limits configured - [ ] Base images scanned for vulnerabilities - [ ] Network isolation implemented ### 4. Infrastructure Security ✅ - [ ] TLS certificates valid and properly configured - [ ] Firewall rules restrict unnecessary access - [ ] Load balancer security configured - [ ] Monitoring and alerting operational - [ ] Backup and recovery procedures tested - [ ] Log aggregation and security monitoring active ## 🔐 Environment Setup ### 1. Generate Secure Secrets ```bash # Generate session secret (32 bytes hex) openssl rand -hex 32 # Generate JWT secret (64 bytes base64) openssl rand -base64 64 # Generate encryption key (32 bytes hex) openssl rand -hex 32 # Generate Searx secret (32 bytes hex) openssl rand -hex 32 ``` ### 2. Configure Environment Variables Create production `.env` file: ```bash # Copy template and fill with real values cp .env.template .env # Edit with secure values nano .env ``` Required production variables: ```bash # Security SESSION_SECRET=your_generated_session_secret JWT_SECRET=your_generated_jwt_secret ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_generated_encryption_key # Docker deployment SEARXNG_SECRET=your_generated_searx_secret GRAFANA_PASSWORD=your_secure_grafana_password REDIS_PASSWORD=your_redis_password # Application NODE_ENV=production CORS_ORIGINS=https://yourdomain.com CSP_ENABLED=true # API Keys (obtain from respective services) GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY=your_alpha_vantage_key # ... other API keys ``` ### 3. Validate Configuration ```bash # Run security validation npm run security:check # Validate environment node -e "console.log('Environment check:', process.env.NODE_ENV)" # Test configuration npm run config:validate ``` ## 🐳 Docker Deployment ### 1. Build and Deploy ```bash # Build application npm run build # Deploy with Docker Compose docker-compose -f deployment/searx-cluster.yml up -d # Verify deployment docker-compose -f deployment/searx-cluster.yml ps ``` ### 2. Security Verification ```bash # Check container security ./scripts/verify-container-security.sh # Verify network isolation docker network ls docker network inspect searx-network # Check resource limits docker stats --no-stream ``` ### 3. Health Checks ```bash # Application health curl -f http://localhost:8080/health # Prometheus metrics curl -f http://localhost:9090/metrics # Grafana dashboard curl -f http://localhost:3001/api/health ``` ## 🔍 Monitoring and Alerting ### 1. Security Monitoring Configure alerts for: - Failed authentication attempts - Rate limit violations - Container security events - High error rates - Unusual network activity - Resource exhaustion ### 2. Log Monitoring Monitor logs for: - Security events - Error patterns - Performance issues - Suspicious activities ```bash # View security logs docker logs searx-node-1 | grep -i security # Monitor error rates docker logs searx-node-1 | grep -i error | tail -100 ``` ### 3. Performance Monitoring Track metrics: - Response times - Memory usage - CPU utilization - Network traffic - Database performance ## 🔄 Maintenance Procedures ### 1. Regular Security Tasks **Daily:** - Review security logs - Check system health - Monitor resource usage **Weekly:** - Run security scans - Review access logs - Update monitoring dashboards **Monthly:** - Update dependencies - Rotate API keys - Review security configuration - Test backup procedures **Quarterly:** - Security audit - Penetration testing - Disaster recovery testing - Security training updates ### 2. Automated Maintenance ```bash # Run automated security maintenance npm run security:maintenance # Update dependencies npm run security:fix # Generate security report npm run security:scan ``` ### 3. Emergency Procedures **Security Incident Response:** 1. **Immediate Actions:** - Isolate affected systems - Preserve evidence - Notify security team - Document incident 2. **Investigation:** - Analyze logs - Identify attack vectors - Assess damage - Collect forensic data 3. **Recovery:** - Patch vulnerabilities - Restore from backups - Update security measures - Monitor for reoccurrence 4. **Post-Incident:** - Conduct lessons learned - Update procedures - Improve monitoring - Train team members ## 🛡️ Security Best Practices ### 1. Access Control - Use principle of least privilege - Implement multi-factor authentication - Regular access reviews - Secure key management ### 2. Network Security - Network segmentation - Firewall configuration - VPN for remote access - Regular security assessments ### 3. Data Protection - Encryption at rest and in transit - Secure backup procedures - Data retention policies - Privacy compliance ### 4. Incident Response - Documented procedures - Regular drills - Contact information - Communication plans ## 📞 Security Contacts **Production Issues:** - **Security Team**: security@your-domain.com - **DevOps Team**: devops@your-domain.com - **On-Call**: +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX **Emergency Contacts:** - **Security Incident**: security-incident@your-domain.com - **System Outage**: ops-emergency@your-domain.com ## 📚 Additional Resources ### Documentation - [Security Policy](../SECURITY.md) - [Docker Security](./DOCKER_SECURITY.md) - [API Documentation](./API_USAGE.md) ### Tools - [Security Scanner](../scripts/security-scan.js) - [Maintenance Script](../scripts/security-maintenance.js) - [Health Check](../scripts/platform-health-check.js) ### External Resources - [OWASP Security Guidelines](https://owasp.org/) - [Docker Security Best Practices](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/) - [Node.js Security Checklist](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/security/) --- **Last Updated**: [Current Date] **Version**: 1.0 **Next Review**: [Date + 1 month] **Deployment Approval**: ✅ Security Team | ✅ DevOps Team | ✅ Project Lead
