This is critical for maintaining custom configurations, user credentials, and security settings. - -## General Instructions - -Docker volumes allow you to persist data outside of container lifecycles. When a container is removed or recreated, data stored in volumes remains intact. This is essential for maintaining configuration files, user data, and other persistent state. - -### Using Docker Volumes for Persistence - -To persist files or directories in your Wazuh deployment, you can mount them as volumes in your `docker-compose.yml` file. The general syntax is: - -```yaml -services: - service_name: - volumes: - - /host/path/to/file:/container/path/to/file - - /host/path/to/directory:/container/path/to/directory -``` - -**Example**: To persist a specific configuration file: - -```yaml -services: - wazuh.indexer: - volumes: - - ./config/custom-config.yml:/usr/share/wazuh-indexer/config/custom-config.yml -``` - -> **Important**: Ensure that files exist on the host before starting the containers. If the file doesn't exist, Docker will create a directory instead, which may cause startup failures. - -For more information on Docker volumes and bind mounts, refer to the official Docker documentation: -- [Use volumes](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) -- [Bind mounts](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/) - -## Wazuh Indexer - -### Internal Users - -The `internal_users.yml` file contains the initial users and passwords for the Wazuh Indexer. This file is not included by default in the repository and must be created manually if you wish to customize internal users or update passwords. - -#### Creating the Configuration File - -1. Create the directory: - ```bash - mkdir -p ./config/wazuh_indexer/ - ``` - -2. Create the file: Create `./config/wazuh_indexer/internal_users.yml` with your user definitions. Here is a basic example: - ```yaml - --- - # This is the internal user database - # The hash value is a bcrypt hash and can be generated with /usr/share/wazuh-indexer/plugins/opensearch-security/tools/hash.sh - - _meta: - type: "internalusers" - config_version: 2 - - # Default users - - admin: - hash: "$2a$12$VcCDgh2NDk07JGN0rjGbM.Ad41qVR/YFJcgHp0UGns5JDymv..TOG" - reserved: true - backend_roles: - - "admin" - description: "Admin user" - - kibanaserver: - hash: "$2a$12$4AcgAt3xwOWadA5s5blL6ev39OXDNhmOesEoo33eZtrq2N0YrU3H." - reserved: true - description: "Kibana server user" - ``` - -> **Important**: This example includes the default `admin` and `kibanaserver` users with their default passwords (hashed). These users are required for the standard `docker-compose.yml` configuration (e.g., `INDEXER_USERNAME=admin` and `DASHBOARD_USERNAME=kibanaserver`) to function correctly. If you change these passwords, you must also update the corresponding environment variables in your `docker-compose.yml`. - -#### Docker Compose Configuration - -To persist the `internal_users.yml` file, add a volume mount to your `docker-compose.yml` for the `wazuh.indexer` service: - -```yaml -services: - wazuh.indexer: - volumes: - - ./config/wazuh_indexer/internal_users.yml:/usr/share/wazuh-indexer/opensearch-security/securityconfig/internal_users.yml -``` - -#### Applying Changes - -After modifying `internal_users.yml`, restart the stack to apply the changes: - -```bash -docker-compose down -``` - -```bash -docker-compose up -d -``` - -## Other Components - -For other components like the Wazuh Manager and Wazuh Dashboard, persistence is typically handled by mounting their respective configuration directories or using Docker volumes for data storage. - -- **Wazuh Manager**: Persist `/var/ossec/data` and `/var/ossec/etc` (or specific files like `ossec.conf`) to retain rules, decoders, and logs. -- **Wazuh Dashboard**: Persist `/usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/data` to retain tenants, dashboards, and visualizations. - -Refer to the [Configuration Files](configuration-files.md) section for more details on mapping specific configuration files.
