OpenCTI docker installation does not work

[rocheston]

After following the docker installation instructions from the website and correctly configuring the .env variables, I was able to log in to the dashboard; however, I was unable to get any of the connectors to connect to OpenCTI. I tried both the python script and docker-compose connector instances, making sure all the UUID variables were set correctly. Despite trying numerous combinations, nothing worked.

The connectors are failing: OpenCTI API is not reachable. Why is your docker-compose file pointing the connector to http://opencti:8080? I changed to http://localhost:8080 does not work. I changed to http://172.17.0.1:8080 does not work or the host ip does not work. I tried every connector Mitre, AlienVault, all of the them have the same issue. OpenCTI API is not reachable.

Configuring OpenCTI on dockers has been a nightmare. Your instructions do not work, and it is unfortunate that I am unable to use the beautiful GUI that OpenCTI has to offer.

Please update your docker instructions and relevant yml configurations so that it simply works out of the box. Can somebody fix this, please?

Could you share code of your Docker compose yml file so I can identify the issue.

When using the docker-compose file from the OpenCTI-Platform/docker repository, any connectors added will generate an error stating 'OpenCTI API is not reachable'. This issue can be replicated by running the below docker-compose file. Please try it.

All the connectors that are given in this file are connectors for internal export files; you have to add connectors from external imports like MISP ALIENVAULT so the total number of entities and relationships will show up. Here is a link where you can manually add any connector from an external import: https://github.com/OpenCTI-Platform/connectors/tree/master/external-import, and I have a file that has already added some connectors. Here is the link for that file: https://github.com/2004gixxer600/openctihowto/blob/main/docker-compose.yml Furthermore, if you are confused about API, you have to sign up on a website like AlienVault, and from there you can copy your own API key and paste it.

Yes. I did all that that. No go. Even the internal connectors do not work.

I think connectors are working. Did you check on the dashboard? On the left side there is a database symbol, and on top there is an option for connectors. By clicking on it, you can see whether your connectors are working or not. Actually, I am using Portainer for managing Docker composer, so I have not had any issues like that.
