Offen is an open-source tool for easy handling of GDPR compliant web analytics. It can be installed on any Linux distribution that supports Docker. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Offen on Kali Linux latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Before installing any software, it's always a good practice to update your system to ensure that you have the latest security patches and software updates. To update your Kali Linux system, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Offen runs inside a Docker container. Therefore, you need to install Docker on your Kali Linux machine. To install Docker, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install docker.io -y
After installing Docker, start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot time by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
To install Offen on Kali Linux, simply run the following command:
sudo docker run \
-v offen:/app/data \
-p 8080:8080 \
--name offen \
-d offen/offen
This command will download the Offen Docker image and start a container with the name offen. The -v offen:/app/data option specifies that the persistent data should be stored in a Docker volume called offen. The -p 8080:8080 option exposes the Offen web interface on port 8080. You can change the port to any other available port that you prefer.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Offen web interface by typing http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. You should see the Offen login screen.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Offen on your Kali Linux latest machine. If you face any issues during installation, make sure to check the official Offen documentation for more information.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
