OSIRIS Recruit CTFd

Hello current Infrastructure Manager, or wandering lab member!
This is the official setup guide for OSIRIS RECRUIT @ 128.238.62.253 hosted on ISIS-host.

Previously, there wasn't too much documentation surrounding CTFd and how it's SSL certificates worked, so this is how you do it.

Prerequisites

1. Install docker. Good guide for ubuntu-server-22 here.

Install

1. Clone the repo
   

git clone [email protected]:osirislab/recruit-CTFd.git

2. Set up Certbot with certificates with its docker image. It will prompt your to set up a standalone server. Choose that option. Additionally, enter the domain that is used for recruit. Here it is recruit.osiris.bar (Thanks Ruarua!)
   

docker run -it --rm --name certbot \
        -v "/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" \
        -v "/var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" \
        certbot/certbot certonly

3. Copy the certificates from the /etc/letsencrypt/live directory

cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/recruit.osiris.bar/privkey.pem /home/manager/recruit-ctfd/conf/nginx/privkey.pem
cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/recruit.osiris.bar/fullchain.pem /home/manager/recruit-ctfd/conf/nginx/fullchain.pem

4. Return to /recruit-ctfd and run the docker-compose.yml file. -d for detached.

docker-compose up -d

5. Verify it is working at your domain. Make sure to set the admin password and no one got to it before you did 💯.
6. Set up a cronjob to renew the certificates every 3 months!

Reminders

Set up a cronjob to renew the certs. Please.
DNS is controlled by greater powers. Reach out to @Infrastrukture if you need help.
