Error on first run

[dellarte]

Hi,

I ran make build withour any error.
Then i tested make start and got this error :

docker run --name flan_1574936755 -v /tmp/flan/shared:/shared flan_scan

Did you use the folder structure provided by 'shared'-folder in the git to initialize your '/tmp/flan/shared'?

If not than that's the reason because the run logic currently expects that the shared folder has the following content:

• ips.txt (= list of IPs to be scanned)
• xml_files/ (= folder to store nmap scan results)
• reports/ (= folder to store latex reports)

[dellarte]

I scrupulously followed all the steps :

• Cloned this repo in /tmp
• get in the /tmp/flan folder
• Inserted one IP address in /tmp/flan/shared/ips.txt
• executed make build (everything's working)
• executed make start

I'm on Windows, using WSL
My docker version is Docker version 19.03.2, build 6a30dfc

As @root360-AndreasUlm mentioned, you may have to create the folders 'xm_files' and 'reports' beforehand in your shared folder.

I have the same error. I'll go check the Makefile to see how to fix it and it's not a big deal, probably.
What I'm concerned about is the instructions in README. There is nothing said about directory creation or something like this:

[Zebradil]

Hmm, it seems like the issue is not the same. The output is slightly different:

There is no directory to create since they are present when this repo is cloned.
The issue is still here :

It seems it's a docker issue on windows.
Volumes are not mount.. Working on it.

[Powelljl]

I'm having the same issue on my Ubuntu VM,

docker run --name flan_1583706873 -v "/shared:/shared:Z" flan_scan mkdir: can't create directory '/shared/xml_files/2020.03.08-22.34': No such file or directory /run.sh: line 34: can't open /shared/ips.txt: no such file Traceback (most recent call last): File "/output_report.py", line 72, in <module> main(*sys.argv[1:4], report_type='latex') File "/output_report.py", line 59, in main for entry in os.scandir(dirname): # type: os.DirEntry FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/shared/xml_files/2020.03.08-22.34' sed: /shared/reports/report_2020.03.08-22.34.tex: No such file or directory sed: /shared/reports/report_2020.03.08-22.34.tex: No such file or directory sed: /shared/reports/report_2020.03.08-22.34.tex: No such file or directory sed: /shared/reports/report_2020.03.08-22.34.tex: No such file or directory

It seems to output fine for me with docker build and docker run flan_scan, but don't get the output reports.

Can confirm the same issue exists on a vanilla debian 10 installation. Error on first attempt of make start. All dirs exist like they should.

[nadinelyab]

Hey @jboger and @Powelljl,
I just merged a PR that might fix this. Can you try again?

[Powelljl]

Hey @nadinelyab

Sorry for the delay, yep all working now :).

[ILPlais]

Hello,
I just clone the last repository (5b92766), so with the #54 merge from @nadinelyab. But I still have the directories' error.

For information, I have two warnings with make build:

WARNING: Running pip as root will break packages and permissions. You should install packages reliably by using venv: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv

And

Someone has the same issue and how to fix it?
Thanks.

[g33k247]

I discovered that the xml_files folder had incorrect perms for "others". Once I corrected that issue, flan works great!

[sebelk]

I've found that chmoding with 777 and directories under shared it works, is that the expected behaviour?

[AlanKK]

I just had the same issue and chmoding with 777 fixed it for me too.

[NouvelleEcosse]

Following all instructions, I had similar permissions errors as those mentioned in this thread. I tried doing a chmod -R 777 on the shared directory and that fixed it for me.
