Following the Official MISP Ubuntu 18.04 LTS build instructions.
Latest Upstream Change Included: a62bca4e169c919413bba4e6ce978e30aae9183e
Github repo + build script here:
https://github.com/harvard-itsecurity/docker-misp
(note: after a git pull, update build.sh
with your own passwords/FQDN, and then build the image)
This is an easy and highly customizable Docker container with MISP - Malware Information Sharing Platform & Threat Sharing (http://www.misp-project.org)
Our goal was to provide a way to setup + run MISP in less than a minute!
We follow the official MISP installation steps everywhere possible, while adding automation around tedious manual steps and configurations.
We have done this without sacrificing options and the ability to customize MISP for your unique environment! Some examples include: auto changing the salt hash, auto initializing the database, auto generating GPG keys, auto generating working + secure configs, and adding custom passwords/domain names/email addresses/ssl certificates.
The misp-modules extensions functionality has been included and can be accessed from http://[dockerhostip]:6666/modules. (thanks to Conrad)
We always recommend building your own Docker MISP image using our "build.sh" script. This allows you to change all the passwords and customize a few config options.
That said, you can pull down the Dockerhub binary image, but this is not supported or recommended. It's there purely for convenience, and so that you can "get a feel" for MISP without building it. It will by default contain "LOCALHOST" as all configured host everywhere, and this will only work on the same system or if you proxy/port forward.
Building your own MISP Docker image is incredibly simple:
git clone https://github.com/harvard-itsecurity/docker-misp.git
cd docker-misp
# modify build.sh, specifically for:
# 1.) all passwords (MYSQL)
# 2.) change at LEAST "MISP_FQDN" to your FQDN (domain)
# Build the docker image - will take a bit, but it's a one time thing!
# Run this from the root of "docker-misp"
./build.sh
This will produce an image called: harvarditsecurity/docker-misp
About $docker-root
- If you are running Docker on a Mac, there are some mount directory restrictions by default (see: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs/#namespaces). Your $docker-root
needs to be either one of the supported defaults ("Users", "Volumes", "private", or "tmp"), otherwise, you must go to "Preferences" -> "File Sharing" and add your chosen $docker-root to the list.
We would suggest using /docker
for your $docker-root
, and if using a Mac, adding that to the File Sharing list.
Once you have your DB directory created (mkdir -p /docker/misp-db
), follow the 3 steps:
docker run -it --rm \
-v $docker-root/misp-db:/var/lib/mysql \
harvarditsecurity/misp /init-db
docker run -it -d \
-p 443:443 \
-p 80:80 \
-p 3306:3306 \
-v $docker-root/misp-db:/var/lib/mysql \
harvarditsecurity/misp
Go to: https://localhost (or your "MISP_FQDN" setting)
Login: admin@admin.test
Password: admin
And change the password! :)
You can customize the build.sh
script to pass custom:
- MYSQL_MISP_PASSWORD
- POSTFIX_RELAY_HOST
- MISP_FQDN
- MISP_EMAIL
See build.sh for an example on how to customize and build your own image with custom defaults.
During run-time, override /etc/ssl/private
docker run -it -d \
-p 443:443 \
-p 80:80 \
-p 3306:3306 \
-v $docker-root/certs:/etc/ssl/private \
-v $docker-root/misp-db:/var/lib/mysql \
harvarditsecurity/misp
And in your /certs
dir, create private/public certs with file names:
- misp.key
- misp.crt
We have added "rng-tools" in order to help with entropy generation, since users have mentioned that during the pgp generation, some systems have a hard time creating enough "randomness". This in turn uses a pseudo-random generator, which is not 100% secure. If this is a concern for a production environment, you can either 1.) take out the "rng-tools" part from the Dockerfile and re-build the container, or 2.) replace the keys with your own! For most users, this should not ever be an issue. The "rng-tools" is removed as part of the build process after it has been used.
