CTFd-config

Configures CTFd to run with Nginx front-end using Ansible

Configuration Decisions

  • Uses MySQL backend

Pre-requisites

  • MySQL server must be available. See this project for help: https://github.com/zloether/MySQL-config
  • Ansible must be installed on your control host (probably your computer). Ubuntu or Mint: 
    sudo apt install -y ansible
  • SSH server must be installed and running on the remote host (the computer you want to configure). Ubuntu or Mint: 
    sudo apt install -y openssh-server
  • Python must be installed on the remote host (installed by default on most *nix machines)

How to run

  • Update the inventory file with your remote host address
  • Run this command: 
    ansible-playbook -i inventory --ask-pass --ask-become-pass ansible-playbook_<OS>.yml
