Install Snort IDS on Balena Engine

Hello All,

I plan to install an Intrusion Detection System called Snort docker (URL: https://github.com/dnif/docker-snort) on an embedded PLC device that supports the balena engine. I could successfully test the Snort docker in a Linux docker environment. Now, I want to install and test the Snort docker on the balena engine. Does anyone have experience with installing a docker application on a balena engine? I would appreciate it if you could suggest steps to install a docker app on a balena engine.

Thanks,
Gelli

Hey Gelli,

All applications running on balenaEngine are based upon Docker images. I think you should have a look at our series of Masterclass posts: https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/more/masterclasses/overview/
Especially the services one: https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/more/masterclasses/services-masterclass/

I think after reading those, you should be able to get started trying to run Snort on balena. Let us know if you need more help.
