Docker SSL Checker

Check SSL certificates in Docker containers

About Docker SSL Checker

The Docker SSL Checker analyzes TLS certificates and SSL configuration for services running inside Docker containers. It verifies certificate validity, checks cipher strength, identifies supported TLS versions, and helps ensure your containerized applications meet modern security standards.

Use Cases

  • Verify TLS configuration in Docker Compose deployments
  • Check certificate expiry for containerized web services
  • Audit cipher strength in Docker Swarm or Kubernetes
  • Ensure reverse proxy containers have valid SSL

How to Use

  • Enter the domain or IP of your Docker container service
  • Click "Run" to start the SSL analysis
  • Review TLS version support, cipher strength, and certificate details

Frequently Asked Questions

Simply enter the domain or IP address where your Docker container is serving HTTPS traffic. The checker will analyze the SSL/TLS configuration, including certificate validity, cipher strength, and protocol support for the containerized service.
Containerized applications are often exposed directly to the internet through reverse proxies or ingress controllers. Misconfigured TLS can leave your containers vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, protocol downgrades, and data interception.
Modern security best practices recommend supporting TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 while disabling TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions. TLS 1.3 offers improved performance and security, making it ideal for containerized microservices.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use Docker secrets or mounted volumes for certificate storage
  • Never embed certificates in Docker images
  • Configure proper file permissions for certificate files in containers
  • Monitor certificate expiry for containerized services
