Wazuh Docker Deployment

Deploying the Wazuh Agent

Follow these steps to deploy the Wazuh agent using Docker.

1. Navigate to the wazuh-agent directory within your repository:

   cd wazuh-agent
   

2. Edit the docker-compose.yml file. You need to update the WAZUH_MANAGER_SERVER environment variable with the IP address or hostname of your Wazuh manager.

   Locate the environment section for the agent service and update it as follows: ```yaml

   Inside your docker-compose.yml file

   services:

   wazuh-agent:

   ...

   environment:

   • WAZUH_MANAGER_SERVER=

     ...

     `` **Note:** Replace` with the actual IP address or hostname of your Wazuh manager.

   • Start the environment using docker compose:

     • To run in the foreground (logs will be displayed in your current terminal, and you can stop it with Ctrl+C):

       docker compose up
       

     • To run in the background (detached mode, allowing the container to run independently of your terminal):

       docker compose up -d
