Managing Multiple DVWA Instances with Docker Compose

This project allows you to deploy and remove multiple instances of DVWA (Damn Vulnerable Web Application) on the same machine using Docker Compose.

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before using this script, make sure you have:

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.
• A Unix/Linux system or Windows with WSL.

🔄 Installation

Clone this repository or copy the manage_dvwa.sh file to your machine.

git clone https://github.com/0xR4ndom/dvwa-manager.git
cd dvwa-manager
chmod +x manage_dvwa.sh

⚡ Usage

1. Start 10 DVWA Instances

Run the following command to deploy 10 DVWA instances on your machine with different ports:

./manage_dvwa.sh start

✅ Expected Result:

• Each DVWA instance will be available on a different port (e.g., http://localhost:4280, http://localhost:4281, etc.).
• Each instance will have its own database and network to avoid conflicts.

2. Stop and Remove All Instances

If you want to stop and remove all DVWA instances, execute:

./manage_dvwa.sh cleanup

✅ Expected Result:

• All DVWA containers and databases are stopped and deleted.
• All associated volumes and networks are removed.

🔍 Checking Running Instances

To see the running containers:

docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}	{{.Names}}	{{.Ports}}"

To list the associated Docker volumes and networks:

docker volume ls
docker network ls

❌ Full Cleanup (Optional)

If you want to remove everything from your machine (including other Docker containers), execute:

docker system prune -a --volumes

💡 Warning: This command deletes all Docker containers, images, and volumes on your machine.

🔧 Customization

If you want to change the number of instances to deploy, modify the NUM_INSTANCES variable in manage_dvwa.sh:

NUM_INSTANCES=5  # To start 5 instances instead of 10
