## 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.
