Scanners and Xray

Choose a scanner image and configure Trivy, Grype, or Artifactory Xray.

The standard backend image includes Trivy and can enable Grype augmentation. The backend-minimal image is for Xray-only deployments and requires both scanner.enable_trivy and scanner.enable_grype to be false. Grype is augmentation, not an independent backend mode: enabling Grype requires Trivy to stay enabled.

Tune concurrency and command timeouts to match the image size, registry bandwidth, and available CPU. JustScan refreshes vulnerability databases automatically; persistent backend data avoids repeatedly rebuilding those caches.

Tune concurrency and timeouts only after confirming registry reachability and scanner health. A full queue or database refresh can be expected during startup; stale scans or repeated timeouts need evidence from scan progress and backend logs before increasing global limits.

See registry and Xray modes for the credentials and behavior expected by each Xray mode.
