Docker installation

Ctfreak provides automatically updated Docker images within the JYP Software Docker Hub organization.

System requirements

  • Docker Engine
  • Docker Compose
  • AMD64 architecture
  • An active internet connection during installation.
  • An active internet connection for at least 2 hours per day to allow license check (for the PRO Edition only).

Installing

To install Ctfreak as a service, we will rely on docker compose command.

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content (adapt timezone, port mapping or replace ./ctfreak-data with another folder according to your needs):

version: "3.5"
services:
  ctfreak:
    image: jypsoftware/ctfreak
    container_name: ctfreak
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris # Set timezone used to schedule your tasks
    ports:
      - "6700:6700"
    volumes:
      - ./ctfreak-data:/data # Where to store all ctfreak data (logs, embedded database, config)
    restart: "unless-stopped"

Then while in the same folder as the docker-compose.yml run:

docker compose up -d

Navigate to http://localhost:6700.

Log in with the default user: admin / password: ctfreak.

To complete this installation, we encourage you to configure a reverse proxy.
