Try DVNA using a single command with Docker. This setup uses an SQLite database instead of MySQL.
docker run --name dvna -p 9090:9090 -d appsecco/dvna:sqliteAccess the application at http://127.0.0.1:9090/
DVNA can be deployed in three ways
- For Developers, using docker-compose with auto-reload on code updates
- For Security Testers, using the Official image from Docker Hub
- For Advanced Users, using a fully manual setup
Detailed instructions on setup and requirements are given in the Guide Gitbook
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/appsecco/dvna; cd dvnaCreate a vars.env with the desired database configuration
MYSQL_USER=dvna
MYSQL_DATABASE=dvna
MYSQL_PASSWORD=passw0rd
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes
Start the application and database using docker-compose
docker-compose upAccess the application at http://127.0.0.1:9090/
The application will automatically reload on code changes, so feel free to patch and play around with the application.
Create a file named vars.env with the following configuration
MYSQL_USER=dvna
MYSQL_DATABASE=dvna
MYSQL_PASSWORD=passw0rd
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes
MYSQL_HOST=mysql-db
MYSQL_PORT=3306
Start a MySQL container
docker run --name dvna-mysql --env-file vars.env -d mysql:5.7Start the application using the official image
docker run --name dvna-app --env-file vars.env --link dvna-mysql:mysql-db -p 9090:9090 appsecco/dvnaAccess the application at http://127.0.0.1:9090/ and start testing!
