Installing Corteza on Kali Linux

Corteza is an open-source platform for creating web applications. In this tutorial, we will be installing Corteza on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

• Kali Linux installed on your system
• Root user access

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Corteza, it is recommended to update your system by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

This will ensure that your system is up-to-date and all the necessary packages are installed.

Step 2: Install Docker

Corteza is built on docker, so it is essential to install docker first. Run the following command to install docker on your Kali Linux system:

sudo apt install docker.io -y

Once installed, start the docker service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

To enable Docker to start at boot time, run this command:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 3: Install Corteza

To download and install Corteza, follow these steps:

1. Create a new directory where you want to install Corteza:

mkdir ~/corteza

2. Change into that directory:

cd ~/corteza

3. Pull the latest Corteza server image from Docker Hub:

sudo docker pull cortezaproject/corteza-server

4. Create a new container from this image, set the environment variables and start the container:

sudo docker run \
  --name my-corteza \
  -e CORTEZA_SERVER_PASSWORD="my-password" \
  -e CORTEZA_DB_USER_PASSWORD="my-password" \
  -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  cortezaproject/corteza-server

In this command, replace my-password with a strong password that you want to use for the server and database.

The command above will create a new Corteza container with the name "my-corteza" and map its ports 80 and 443 to the host machine's ports.

Step 4: Access Corteza

Once the installation is complete, you can access Corteza by opening a web browser and navigating to https://localhost.

You will be prompted to enter the password you set in the previous step.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Corteza on Kali Linux Latest.
