Catching weak spots in your software early is far easier than dealing with breaches after deployment. Trivy, a free and fast vulnerability scanner created by Aqua Security, scans container images (like Docker), file systems, and code repositories against global security databases all without complex rules or heavy database setups.
In this quick guide, I cover everything needed to get Trivy running on Ubuntu and Debian systems:
System Prerequisites: Preparing your Linux environment with the essential tools and permissions.
Key & Repository Setup: Adding Aqua Security’s official security key and package source so you can download verified software safely.
Installation & Verification: Installing Trivy via your package manager and confirming it is ready to scan your projects.
