Docker build for autopsy

Autopsy

Dockerfile for building a working version of Autopsy for Linux. Unfotunately, their guidance for installing sucks and misses a lot of problems. This dockerfile successfully builds and runs as of writing.

Run

Note: The xhost + command is in the documentation for convienience. It is a security risk (https://laurentschneider.com/wordpress/2007/03/xhost-is-a-huge-security-hole.html). If you have concerns about your X security, please using xauth instead.

Using Docker

source

$ xhost +
$ docker run \
            -d \
            -it \
            --shm-size 2G \
            -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
            -v $(pwd)/case/:/root/case \
            -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
            -e JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' \
            --network host \
            --device /dev/dri \
            bannsec/autopsy

Using Docker Compose

Just run:

$ xhost + && docker-compose up -d

Loading an image file for a case

The volume mounted in the local folder ./case/ should be used to share disk images and cases files, so put here your evidence and load it in the Autopsy wizard.
