Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

Where should the Nessus installer be placed when building the Docker image?

Place the 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04 .deb file in the config directory. Verify that the Dockerfile and setup.sh reference the matching version before building.

What port mapping is shown for running the prebuilt container?

The documented run command maps host port 8834 to container port 8834.

What volume mapping is shown in the documented run command?

It mounts a named nessus volume to /config. It also sets PUID 99 and PGID 100.

Do Nessus module updates require rebuilding the container?

The developer says they are not actively making updates unless an issue requires it, because the modules get auto updated within Nessus.
