Goes deep into the docker files and find out vulnerabilities
When we were trying to get it up and working initially, I found it a bit hard to go through JFrog Xray's documentation and get my error solved. I was facing some issues because we hadn't got a specific license for the tool, but I was able to access it. As a regular user, I regularly saw an error message saying that the license feature was unavailable for my subscription. After a couple of days, I realized I was missing a license. I had to go back to the JFrog Xray team, who provided me with the new license, and then I could complete the setup.
