Hey,

I'm not entirely sure whether I should ask you, but maybe you tried Docker by yourself.
I want to launch Arachni rpcd server using docker and I'm experiencing a situation that rpcd cannot (?) start fully. In the console it outputs the version number and that it's indeed Arachni running, but doesn't bind to the ip:port. I'm using this (https://hub.docker.com/r/k0st/debian-arachni/~/dockerfile/) as an example to build my rpcd server image.

Thanks!

   Hey there,

   Actually, I've no idea, never tried Docket.
   Maybe a permission issue?

   Cheers

   I'm running it as sudo.. Should be fine.

   Btw, that example from above would start the webui and it works. So I was searching what's wrong with the rpcd.

   Maybe some restriction at the container level?
   Is IPv4 available?

   Yes, docker starts its own network:

   Is anything printed in the error logs?

   hey,

   so the issue was that since arachni wants to bind to somekind of IP, but the IP of the host is invisible from docker containers, you have to parse it in the dockerfile as this:

   CMD ["/opt/arachni/bin/arachni_rpcd","--address","0.0.0.0"]

   Maybe that will become useful for somebody :)
