Hello @dotfy,

I wonder if you've managed to figure out what the issue was. Normally nuclei updates that file automatically.

At this point in time nuclei looks for the .nuclei-ignore file under the configuration folder, which by default is under $HOME/.config/nuclei/, or under the user provided custom directory, in case it has been overwritten using the -config flag. If it cannot find it under any of those folders, it will check within the current working directory.

If you execute nuclei with both normal user and administrative privileges, with the default configuration, it will create the configuration directory for both users. (Please note that nuclei doesn't require administrative privileges)

You can try to remove the configuration directory altogether and re-try the execution.

Alternatively, you can also try manually download it from here and placing it under one of the above mentioned locations, but make sure to provide the right permissions.

You can solve the issue by copying .nuclei-ignore file from your host into the Docker Container.

In a terminal, follow these steps:

1. Download .nuclei-ignore file in your host home directory:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates/master/.nuclei-ignore -O $HOME/.nuclei-ignore

2. Get the container ID of your current running container:

sudo docker ps

3. Use that ID to copy .nuclei-ignore from your host into the container:

sudo docker cp $HOME/.nuclei-ignore container_id:/root/.config/nuclei/.nuclei-ignore

You can also try other methods mentioned here.

Hope it helps!
