Security Onion + Docker?

[Daniel Henry]

A bit of a noob question, but in looking at using Docker with Security Onion, this is what I've been able to determine - please correct me if wrong:

1. I can't run SO on my current Docker setup, but I can download a pre-built Docker deployment:
SO doesn't support running entirely in an existing Docker container (e.g. on a Mac or a PC Docker setup), but does have a distribution that installs as a set of containers running on Docker. natively installed on the Linux distro.

2. I can install parts of SO as Docker containers:
I haven't seen good documentation on how these are linked together.

Thanks for corrections/clarification

Hi Daniel,

To answer your questions:

1. Correct.  We still utilize Ubunut 14.04 as a base OS, currently, however, part of our move to Docker is to allow ourselves more flexibility for the future.

2.  You can install the Elastic stack components of Security Onion in Docker containers, currently.  If you do not wish to use the Elastic stack, you don't have to.

Thanks,

Wes

This appears correct as in the documentation and infact the title of the project is very misleading.
