Trusted-CGI is an open-source project that allows secure, remote execution of CGI scripts. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Trusted-CGI on Windows 10:
Before installing Trusted-CGI, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Open the command prompt on your Windows machine.
Clone the Trusted-CGI repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/reddec/trusted-cgi.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to it using the following command:
cd trusted-cgi
Install the dependencies using the following command:
cpanm --installdeps .
Run the following command to generate a self-signed SSL certificate:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
Create a new directory called cgi-bin using the following command:
mkdir cgi-bin
Create a new file called index.cgi inside the cgi-bin directory and add the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Trusted-CGI</title></head><body>";
print "<h1>Trusted-CGI</h1>";
print "<p>Congratulations! You have successfully installed Trusted-CGI on your Windows machine.</p>";
print "</body></html>";
Start Trusted-CGI using the following command:
openssl s_server -key key.pem -cert cert.pem -accept 443 -WWW
Open a web browser and navigate to https://localhost/cgi-bin/index.cgi to verify that Trusted-CGI is working correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Trusted-CGI on your Windows 10 machine.
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!
