cacerts

cacerts(name, mode, package, time)

Create a ca-certificates.crt bundle from Common CA certificates.

When provided with the ca-certificates Debian package it will create a bundle of all common CA certificates at /usr/share/ca-certificates and bundle them into a ca-certificates.crt file at /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

An example of this would be

# MODULE.bazel
http_archive = use_repo_rule("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "ca-certificates",
    type = ".deb",
    sha256 = "b2d488ad4d8d8adb3ba319fc9cb2cf9909fc42cb82ad239a26c570a2e749c389",
    urls = ["https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20231106T210201Z/pool/main/c/ca-certificates/ca-certificates_20210119_all.deb"],
    build_file_content = "exports_files(["data.tar.xz"])"
)

# BUILD.bazel
load("@rules_distroless//distroless:defs.bzl", "cacerts")

cacerts(
    name = "example",
    package = "@ca-certificates//:data.tar.xz",
)

To use the generated certificate bundle for SSL, you must set SSL_CERT_FILE in the environment. You can set it on the oci image like so:

oci_image(
    name = "my-image",
    env = {
        "SSL_CERT_FILE": "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt",
    }
)
