A dockerized chipwhisperer 5 for easy installation. This is a fork of (https://github.com/nezza/chipwhisperer5-docker) with updated runtime and a docker-compose. It runs as user without --privileged.
This docker setup will bind to localhost:8888 with no password. I believe this is safe, but this behavior can be changed by commenting out a few lines in chipwhisperer/startup.sh and rebuilding the image. It might be to run the image as privileged when an access an access to /dev/ttyACM0 is needed. Otherwise the device files in /devacm/ can be used for APIs that allow setting a device file name.
To install, simply copy and load the newae udev rules and build the docker image:
sudo cp chipwhisper/99-newae.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
docker-compose build
docker-compose up
The Jupyter Notebook should then be running on port 8888. You can visit it by simply going to
The working directory will be initialized in workspace/ and will persist across updates or rebuilds. Labs require heavy modification of this directory, make sure you backup everything you want to keep.
sudo cp chipwhisper/99-newae.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
docker-compose up -d
Some older versions of docker-compose (such as in Ubuntu 20.04) have troubles with IPv6 addresses and docker-compose version 3. Use the alternate docker-compose script if needed.
cp docker-compose2.yml docker-compose.yml
