Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated Docker configuration to use new cache directory paths for improved APK package management during build and runtime stages in both backend and frontend environments.

Walkthrough

The Dockerfiles for both backend and frontend were updated to rename the environment variable APK_CACHE_DIR in their builder and final stages. The cache directory paths were changed to use more descriptive names, but no other commands, logic, or environment variables were modified.

Changes

Files	Change Summary
backend/docker/Dockerfile.local	Renamed APK_CACHE_DIR in builder stage to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-builder and in final stage to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-stage; updated related symbolic link targets.
frontend/docker/Dockerfile.local	Renamed APK_CACHE_DIR in builder stage to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-builder and in final stage to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-stage; updated related symbolic link targets.

✅ Verification successful

Isolate APK cache for the backend runtime stage
Updating APK_CACHE_DIR to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-stage maintains a clean separation between build-time and runtime caches, which improves cache hygiene.

Verify any remaining references:

---

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
rg -n '/home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend\b'

Isolate APK cache directories across all stages
Verified that each Dockerfile uses a distinct cache directory for its purpose:

• backend/docker/Dockerfile.test: APK_CACHE_DIR="/home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-test"
• backend/docker/Dockerfile.local (build stage): APK_CACHE_DIR="/home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-builder"
• backend/docker/Dockerfile.local (runtime stage): APK_CACHE_DIR="/home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-stage"

All stages now maintain clean, separate APK caches—approving these changes.

❓ Verification inconclusive

Isolate APK cache for the backend builder stage
Renaming APK_CACHE_DIR to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-builder clearly separates builder caches and avoids overlap with the runtime stage.

To ensure no residual references remain, you can run:

---

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Check for old cache directory references across the repo
rg -n '/home/owasp/.cache/apk\b'

Isolate APK cache for the backend builder stage
Renaming APK_CACHE_DIR in backend/docker/Dockerfile.local to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-builder clearly separates the builder cache from the runtime stage. I ran a repo-wide scan for /home/owasp/.cache/apk\b and found these settings:

• schema/docker/Dockerfile.test:5
• frontend/docker/Dockerfile.local:5, 36
• backend/docker/Dockerfile.local:5, 37
• backend/docker/Dockerfile:3
• backend/docker/Dockerfile.test:3
• docs/docker/Dockerfile.local:5

Please confirm that leaving the production backend/docker/Dockerfile at /home/owasp/.cache/apk is intentional. If you’d prefer to isolate its runtime cache too (e.g. /home/owasp/.cache/apk-backend-stage), update that ENV accordingly.

To re-run the check:

rg -n '/home/owasp/.cache/apk\b'

✅ Verification successful

Isolate APK cache for the frontend runtime stage
Renaming to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-stage aligns runtime caching with the builder convention and improves maintainability.

Approve change: Isolate frontend APK cache directory

The new APK_CACHE_DIR="/home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-stage" is referenced only once (runtime stage) and aligns with your builder convention—no further updates needed.

✅ Verification successful

Isolate APK cache for the frontend builder stage
Changing APK_CACHE_DIR to /home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-builder prevents cache collisions with backend builds and clarifies intent.

Run this to catch any outdated paths:

APK cache paths correctly isolated for both build stages

Both occurrences in frontend/docker/Dockerfile.local use distinct, updated cache directories:

• Line 5: ENV APK_CACHE_DIR="/home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-builder"
• Line 36: ENV APK_CACHE_DIR="/home/owasp/.cache/apk-frontend-stage"

No outdated paths remain.
