QuickStart Guide

Docker

You’ll need to have Docker installed and running on your host system.

Using prebuilt images

You can use prebuilt images generated by our CI workflow.

• To use the latest stable version.

  • Linux Machine

  curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWASP/crAPI/main/deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml
  
  docker-compose pull
  
  docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --compatibility up -d
  

  • Windows Machine

  curl.exe -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWASP/crAPI/main/deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml
  
  docker-compose pull
  
  docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --compatibility up -d
  

• To use the latest development version

  • Linux Machine

  curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWASP/crAPI/develop/deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml
  
  VERSION=develop docker-compose pull 
  
  VERSION=develop docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --compatibility up -d
  

  • Windows Machine
  Visit http://localhost:8888

  Note: All emails are sent to mailhog service by default and can be checked on http://localhost:8025 You can change the smtp configuration if required however all emails with domain example.com will still go to mailhog.

  Vagrant

  This option allows you to run crAPI within a virtual machine, thus isolated from your system. You’ll need to have Vagrant and, for example VirtualBox installed.

  1. Clone crAPI repository

     $ git clone [REPOSITORY-URL]
     

  2. Start crAPI Virtual Machine

     $ cd deploy/vagrant && vagrant up
     

  3. Visit http://192.168.33.20

  Note: All emails are sent to mailhog service and can be checked on http://192.168.33.20:8025

  Once you’re done playing with crAPI, you can remove it completely from your system running the following command from the repository root directory

  $ cd deploy/vagrant && vagrant destroy
