Full Description
havegedocker
Docker Haveged is a container as an entropy gathering service.
Haveged Version: 1.9.1-1
Use case
In case you need an entropy gathering service on your docker host but don't want to / can't install locally an entropy gathering service.
The service makes more sense on Cloud servers and more specifically on CoreOS servers where you cannot install locally services.
Checklist
The purpose of the service is to make sure you have available entropy on your host. To check if you are running low:
make show
If the number is below 1000
then it is probably depleted.
Quickstart
To run the container:
docker run --privileged -d joshuacox/havegedocker:latest
or build and run locally:
make run
Test Entropy
In order to test the quality of entropy you can use rngtest
make test
Show the logs
make logs
Enter the container
make enter
