[-s SEARCH] [--search_list SEARCH_LIST]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CASE, --case CASE case ID
-i IMAGE, --image IMAGE
image file
--no_base64 don't decode base64
--no_gzip don't decompress gzip
--no_zip don't decompress zip
-s SEARCH, --search SEARCH
search query
--search_list SEARCH_LIST
file with search queries
```
## Docker
If using Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL in Docker, they can be started using
[docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) from the `docker`
folder.
```shell
docker-compose up -d
```
To shut the containers down again (and purge the data), run:
```shell
docker-compose down
```
### Running dfDewey in Docker
The `docker` folder also contains a `Dockerfile` to build dfDewey and its
dependencies into a Docker image.
Build the image from the `docker` folder with:
```shell
docker build -t <docker_name> ./
```
When running dfDewey within a Docker container, we need to give the container
access to the host network so it will be able to access Elasticsearch and
PostgreSQL in their respective containers. We also need to map a folder in the
container to allow access to the image we want to process. For example:
```shell
docker run --network=host -v ~/images/:/mnt/images <docker_name> dfdewey -h
```
## Processing an Image
To process an image in dfDewey, you need to supply a `CASE` and `IMAGE`.
```shell
python3 dfdewey.py -c testcase -i /path/to/image.dd
```
dfDewey will have bulk_extractor decode base64 data, and decompress gzip / zip
data by default. These can be disabled by adding the flags `--no_base64`,
`--no_gzip`, and `--no_zip`.
## Searching
To search the index for a single image, you need to supply a `CASE`, `IMAGE`,
and `SEARCH`.
```shell
python3 dfdewey.py -c testcase -i /path/to/image.dd -s foo
```
If an `IMAGE` is not provided, dfDewey will search all images in the given case.
dfDewey can also search for a list of terms at once. The terms can be placed in
a text file one per line. In this case, only the number of results for each term
is returned.
```shell
python3 dfdewey.py -c testcase -i /path/to/image.dd --search_list search_terms.txt
```
