# Obtain the Linux EDR Docker Container Image

Currently there are two ways to obtain the image. Both of these require your specific Linux Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) **subdomain**, **username** and your associated **API key**.

To get started, gather the credentials needed by following the instructions below.

## Credentials

### Linux EDR Subdomain Name

The subdomain is the first part of the URL to access your Linux EDR portal.

https://.my.redcanary.co

### API Key

Visit **either** of the below sections in the Linux EDR portal and copy the entire string after **password.**

- Step 1 of Page *Endpoints > Deploy Sensors > [Make selections] > RPM*.
- Step 2 of Page *Endpoints > Deploy Sensors > [Make selections] > Debian*.

Be sure to copy the entirety of the password, shown in the redaction above. The passwords are the same regardless of the section chosen. Every Zscaler MDR customer has a single password that works for all package management solutions.

## Method 1: Docker Authentication Config

Execute the following **cat** command, ensuring you substitute the **username** and **API key**. This command creates a file with authentication configuration settings named **redcanary.docker.config**. The resulting contents of this file can be used to append to your Docker configuration file.

### Command and Format

```plaintext
cat > redcanary.docker.config <<- EOM
{
   "auths":{
   "https://redcanary-forwarder-docker-prod-local.jfrog.io":{
      "auth":"$(echo username:API_key | base64)"
   }
   }
}
EOM
```

### Example

This example is formed with a dummy **username** and **API key**. Please follow the above sections to obtain your own credentials from your portal.

```plaintext
cat > redcanary.docker.config <<- EOM
{
   "auths":{
   "https://redcanary-forwarder-docker-prod-local.jfrog.io":{
      "auth":"$(echo rcsample:exAMpLE000000iwidHlwIjoiSldUIiwiYWxnIjoiUlMyNTYiLCJraWQiOiJsd0xmTnNwSXpWbW5nZmxXdGJMNzgtd2pHamc1Y2VsaTUxU0JFVVNmNE93In0.eyJzdWIiOiJqZnJ0QDAxZTg3cnk0YnkybmpkMGpiOHNrM3cwNjk2XC91c2Vyc1wvZGVtb2N3cCIsInNjcCI6Im1lbEXAMPLEZi1ncm91cHM6Y3VzdG9tZXJzIGFwaToqIiwiYXVkIjoiamZydEAwMWU4N3J5NGJ5Mm5qZDBqYjhzazN3MDY5NiIsImlzcyI6ImpmcnRAMDFlODdyeTRieEXAMPLEamI4c2szdzA2OTZcL3VzZXJzXC9jdXN0b21lci1wcm92aXNpb24tYm90IiwiaWF0IjoxNjA1Nzk4NTI5LCJqdGkiOiI3YjBlZGE2ZS1lMTkzLTRjZDUtYmFjZC01M2U4N2JhNjI4MjkifQ.hqlu1_TTvQuAYS-sSFA3iuOkAh1MpsX-s90JwDrwwehrYJP_RTHBNDfQC9QfBen5gkEhyUtoWpadEANBLq1aWAH9Vtd9IvdU65gqTr-2669CNREcHpRguj1ta8eWmIOLl7k19OZ0f9JdD0oN628bWpMUhgaT0jACVp45L_Oys0U0ZrluexjI1onjLoiXZXvcl86klewBNMWeIivHCQEWdNkCb0uW34yd11TKdchhiUZdU1sr28ni-m7vEXMk6kDsWHzyuMc533zacPNgIl6795kUhJPQ7Zso1JJDDIH7RRw7uaYCVukgwxIvRCc_u6N-3IRISZYpr9FfMmwhEXAMPLE | base64)"
   }
   }
}
EOM
```

Then, take the contents and append it to your Docker configuration file.

> **Note**: Make certain that this file does not replace any existing configuration, as doing so would result in the loss of the existing settings. This method has also proven to be brittle across docker versions as various docker commands entirely replace this file.

## Method 2: Docker Pull

On your host, log in to Docker using your username specified in the instructions at the top of this page and the **API key** as the password.

```plaintext
docker login redcanary-forwarder-docker-prod-local.jfrog.io
```

Then, use the following command to pull the image.

```plaintext
docker pull redcanary-forwarder-docker-prod-local.jfrog.io/canary_forwarder
```

> **Note**: If you need an arm image, please append aarch64 to the image path.

```plaintext
docker pull redcanary-forwarder-docker-prod-local.jfrog.io/canary_forwarder/aarch64
```
