OpenBAS Deployment Walkthrough (Ubuntu 24.04)

This guide walks you through deploying OpenBAS from a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 server to first login using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (fresh install)
• User with sudo privileges
• Internet access

1. System Preparation

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y docker.io docker-compose git
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

2. Clone the OpenBAS Docker Setup

git clone https://github.com/your-org/openbas-docker.git
cd openbas-docker

3. Generate .env File with Script

Use the interactive script to generate your .env file:

chmod +x openbas_deploy.sh
./openbas_deploy.sh

This script prompts for all required environment variables and saves them to openbas.env.

4. Start OpenBAS

docker compose --env-file openbas.env up -d --build

5. Access OpenBAS

Once all containers are healthy:

• URL: http://<your-server-ip>:8080
• Login:
  • Email: the one you set in the script
  • Password: the one you set in the script

6. Post-Deployment Checklist

• Configure injectors and test scenarios
• Backup openbas.env securely
