Technical Requirements
Hardware, operating system and network requirements for the server.
ScanSuite and its associated components are fully containerized, making it compatible with any Linux-based operating system that supports Docker. For optimal performance and stability, Ubuntu 22.04+ is the recommended OS.
Hardware requirements
The required system resources depend on the number of parallel scans and the specific scanners used. The following configuration is recommended for optimal performance:
| Resource | Recommended |
|---|---|
| CPU | 4 cores |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Storage | 100 GB SSD |
This setup supports local storage of all scanners and allows execution of 3–4 parallel scans, including resource-intensive ones.
Software dependencies
Docker is the only prerequisite. The ScanSuite installer will automatically install Docker on the following Linux distributions:
- Ubuntu
- CentOS
- Debian Bookworm / Kali
For other distributions, Docker must be installed manually before proceeding with the ScanSuite installation.
DefectDojo integration
- DefectDojo is required for scan result visualization and management.
- By default, the installer automatically deploys DefectDojo on the same host as ScanSuite.
- Alternatively, DefectDojo can be installed on a separate server, provided it is reachable over HTTPS by ScanSuite.
Installation requirements
To install and run ScanSuite, the following credentials and files are required:
- License key file:
company_name_keyID.lic - Authentication credentials: the password for downloading and updating ScanSuite containers
Network and firewall configuration
If the installation is performed in an environment with restricted internet access, ensure that the following URLs are whitelisted in the firewall:
