[DefectDojo](https://www.defectdojo.com/) is a DevSecOps, ASPM (application security posture management), and
vulnerability management tool.  DefectDojo orchestrates end-to-end security testing, vulnerability tracking,
deduplication, remediation, and reporting.

## Demo

Pro Edition: [pro.demo.defectdojo.com](https://pro.demo.defectdojo.com)

OWASP Community Edition: [demo.defectdojo.org](https://demo.defectdojo.org)

Either demo environment can be logged into with username `admin` and password `1Defectdojo@demo#appsec`. Please note that the demos are publicly accessible
and reset every day. Do not put sensitive data in the demo. An easy way to test DefectDojo is to upload some [sample scan reports](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/tree/master/unittests/scans).

## Quick Start for Docker Compose

```sh
git clone https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo && cd django-DefectDojo && docker compose up
```

This quick start guide will do the following

- Clone the repository and change directories
- Start the application
- Obtain admin credentials in the initializer logs. The first initialization can take up to 3 minutes to run.


if running DefectDojo in detached mode via `docker compose up -d`, obtain admin credentials from the initializer logs with the command below. Please note, the initializer can take up to 3 minutes to run.

`docker compose logs initializer | grep "Admin password:"`
