Patrowl is an open-source web security intelligence and identification project that allows security teams and professionals to detect weaknesses, break-ins, and security breaches. Patrowl can be installed on a variety of operating systems, including OpenSUSE. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing Patrowl on OpenSUSE.
To install and configure Patrowl on OpenSUSE, you will need:
First, open the terminal on your OpenSUSE system, then update the repository index and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install python-pip python-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel gcc openssl-devel
Now, clone the PatrowlManager project's repository from Github by entering the following command in your terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/Patrowl/PatrowlManager.git
This command will create a PatrowlManager directory in the current directory where you ran the command.
Next, move to the PatrowlManager directory by running the following command:
cd PatrowlManager
Now, create a virtual environment to isolate the project's dependencies from your operating system. You can create a virtual environment by using python virtualenv tool. If you do not have python virtualenv tool installed on your system, you can install it with the following command:
sudo pip install virtualenv
To create a new virtual environment, run the following command:
sudo virtualenv env30
This command will create a new virtual environment named "env30."
To activate the created virtual environment, run the following command:
source env30/bin/activate
You should see a prefix "(env30)" before your command prompt, indicating that the virtual environment is active.
Now, install the required Python packages into the virtual environment by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the required Python packages to run Patrowl.
Finally, it is time to run Patrowl on OpenSUSE. To start the Patrowl server, run the following command:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This command will start the Patrowl server, which you can access by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip:8000, where "your-server-ip" is the IP address of your OpenSUSE system.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Patrowl on OpenSUSE. Patrowl is an easy-to-use and powerful project, and you can use it to enhance the security of your web applications.
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!
