IRIS-Web Startup Script

🔗 Related Repository

This project relies on the dfir-iris/iris-web repository, which contains the DFIR-IRIS web application.

Please make sure to clone that repository as part of your project structure.

This repository includes a batch script that automates the setup and shutdown process of the DFIR-IRIS web application using Docker.

📂 File Structure Requirement

Warning

The batch file must be placed one level above the iris-web folder.

This is because the script contains the command:

cd /d .\iris-web

If the script is placed inside the iris-web folder, the path will break and the script won't work as intended.

Example folder structure:

your-project-folder/
├── iris-web/
│   ├── docker-compose.yml
│   └── other project files...
└── deploy-iris.bat   ← The script must be here

⚙️ What the Script Does

1. Starts Docker Desktop if it's not already running.
2. Waits until Docker is fully initialized.
3. Changes directory into iris-web.
4. Builds the Docker containers using docker-compose build.
5. Starts the containers with docker-compose up -d.
6. Waits for the containers (specifically the IRIS service) to be up and running.
7. Opens the IRIS web interface in Brave browser at https://localhost:443.
8. Waits until the user closes Brave.
9. Stops and removes all running containers (docker-compose down).

🖥️ Requirements

• Docker Desktop installed at:
  C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe

• Brave Browser installed at:
  C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe

• docker-compose available in your system PATH

Make sure to adjust the script if you use different installation paths or a different browser.
