Troubleshooting DefectDojo

Restart DefectDojo:

cd ~/apps/scansuite/defectdojo && sudo docker compose down -t 0
sudo docker compose up -d

Update the DefectDojo admin password:

cd ~/apps/scansuite/defectdojo && ./dojo-password

In exceptional cases, reset the DefectDojo database. This command clears the DefectDojo database and restarts it from scratch:

~/apps/scansuite/defectdojo/reset-dojo

After the reset, wait a few minutes and check for the new password:

cd ~/apps/scansuite/defectdojo && ./dojo-password

For more details refer to the official DefectDojo repository and documentation.

Troubleshooting ScanSuite

Restart ScanSuite:

cd ~/apps/scansuite && ./start-scansuite

To check container logs for errors, change into ~/apps/scansuite and run the command for the service you are investigating. The architecture page explains what each one does.

docker compose logs web
docker compose logs worker
docker compose logs worker_admin
docker compose logs celery_beat

The application log is written to the host:

cat /var/tmp/scansuite.log

If containers fail to start at all, restart the Docker service itself:

sudo service docker restart
