Integrations

Docker

Overview

Docker integration

Utilizing BunkerWeb as a Docker container offers a convenient and straightforward approach for testing and utilizing the solution, particularly if you are already familiar with Docker technology.

To facilitate your Docker deployment, we provide readily available prebuilt images on Docker Hub, supporting multiple architectures. These prebuilt images are optimized and prepared for use on the following architectures:

  • x64 (64-bit)
  • x86
  • armv8 (ARM 64-bit)
  • armv7 (ARM 32-bit)

By accessing these prebuilt images from Docker Hub, you can quickly pull and run BunkerWeb within your Docker environment, eliminating the need for extensive configuration or setup processes. This streamlined approach allows you to focus on leveraging the capabilities of BunkerWeb without unnecessary complexities.

Whether you're conducting tests, developing applications, or deploying BunkerWeb in production, the Docker containerization option provides flexibility and ease of use. Embracing this method empowers you to take full advantage of BunkerWeb's features while leveraging the benefits of Docker technology.

docker pull bunkerity/bunkerweb:1.5.6

Docker images are also available on GitHub packages and can be downloaded using the ghcr.io repository address :

docker pull ghcr.io/bunkerity/bunkerweb:1.5.6

Alternatively, if you prefer a more hands-on approach, you have the option to build the Docker image directly from the source. Building the image from source gives you greater control and customization over the deployment process. However, please note that this method may take some time to complete, depending on your hardware configuration.

While the image is being built, you can take a moment to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee ☕, as the process may require some patience. Once the image is successfully built, you can proceed to deploy and utilize BunkerWeb within your Docker environment. This method allows you to tailor the image to your specific requirements and ensures a more personalized deployment of BunkerWeb.

So, whether you choose to use the ready-to-use prebuilt images or embark on the journey of building the image from source, BunkerWeb in Docker provides you with the flexibility and options to seamlessly integrate it into your environment.

git clone https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerweb.git && \
cd bunkerweb && \
docker build -t my-bunkerweb -f src/bunkerweb/Dockerfile .

Docker integration key concepts are :

  • Environment variables to configure BunkerWeb
  • Scheduler container to store configuration and execute jobs
  • Networks to expose ports for clients and connect to upstream web services

When integrating BunkerWeb with Docker, there are key concepts to keep in mind, ensuring a smooth and efficient deployment:

  • Environment variables: BunkerWeb can be easily configured using environment variables. These variables allow you to customize various aspects of BunkerWeb's behavior, such as network settings, security options, and other parameters.

  • Scheduler container: To effectively manage the configuration and execution of jobs, BunkerWeb utilizes a dedicated container called the scheduler.

  • Networks: Docker networks play a vital role in the integration of BunkerWeb. These networks serve two main purposes: exposing ports to clients and connecting to upstream web services. By exposing ports, BunkerWeb can accept incoming requests from clients, allowing them to access the protected web services. Additionally, by connecting to upstream web services, BunkerWeb can efficiently route and manage the traffic, providing enhanced security and performance.

Database backend

Please be aware that our instructions assume you are using SQLite as the default database backend, as configured by the DATABASE_URI setting. However, we understand that you may prefer to utilize alternative backends for your Docker integration. If that is the case, rest assured that other database backends are still possible. See docker-compose files in the misc/integrations folder folder of the repository for more information.

Environment variables

Settings are passed to BunkerWeb using Docker environment variables :

...
services:
  mybunker:
    image: bunkerity/bunkerweb:1.5.6
    labels:
      - "bunkerweb.INSTANCE=yes"
    environment:
      - MY_SETTING=value
      - ANOTHER_SETTING=another value
...

Please note that the bunkerweb.INSTANCE is mandatory to make sure the scheduler can detect BunkerWeb instance(s).

Full list

For the complete list of environment variables, see the settings section of the documentation.

Scheduler

The scheduler is executed in its own container which is also available on Docker Hub :

docker pull bunkerity/bunkerweb-scheduler:1.5.6

Alternatively, you can build the Docker image directly from the source (less coffee ☕ needed than BunkerWeb image) :

git clone https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerweb.git && \
cd bunkerweb && \
docker build -t my-scheduler -f src/scheduler/Dockerfile .

A volume is needed to store the SQLite database that will be used by the scheduler :

...
services:
  bw-scheduler:
    image: bunkerity/bunkerweb-scheduler:1.5.6
    volumes:
      - bw-data:/data
...
volumes:
  bw-data:

Using local folder for persistent data

The scheduler runs as an unprivileged user with UID 101 and GID 101 inside the container. The reason behind this is security : in case a vulnerability is exploited, the attacker won't have full root (UID/GID 0) privileges. But there is a downside : if you use a local folder for the persistent data, you will need to set the correct permissions so the unprivileged user can write data to it. Something like that should do the trick :

mkdir bw-data && \
chown root:101 bw-data && \
chmod 770 bw-data

Alternatively, if the folder already exists :

chown -R root:101 bw-data && \
chmod -R 770 bw-data

If you are using Docker in rootless mode or podman, UIDs and GIDs in the container will be mapped to different ones in the host. You will first need to check your initial subuid and subgid :

grep ^$(whoami): /etc/subuid && \
grep ^$(whoami): /etc/subgid

For example, if you have a value of 100000, the mapped UID/GID will be 100100 (100000 + 100) :

mkdir bw-data && \
sudo chgrp 100100 bw-data && \
chmod 770 bw-data

Or if the folder already exists :

shell sudo chgrp -R 100100 bw-data && \ chmod -R 770 bw-data

When using Docker-based integrations, the scheduler will need to access the Docker API to get things working which is defined using the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

Docker API access and security

Due to Docker's limitations in supporting fine-grained authorizations, it's important to be aware of the potential security risks associated with accessing the API directly. Accessing the Docker API can pose a threat, as an attacker with API access can potentially obtain root privileges on the host machine. For more detailed information on this topic, we encourage you to refer to the provided link (here).

To mitigate these risks, we strongly advise against directly mounting the socket file located at /var/run/docker.sock within the BunkerWeb container. Instead, we recommend employing an alternative approach that enhances security. One such approach involves using a "proxy" container, such as tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy, which acts as an intermediary and allows only necessary API calls.

By adopting this proxy container strategy, you can establish a more secure communication channel with the Docker API, minimizing the potential attack surface and enhancing overall system security.

You will need to create the Docker API proxy container, mount the socket and set the DOCKER_HOST environment variable to use the Docker API proxy :

...
services:
  bw-scheduler:
    image: bunkerity/bunkerweb-scheduler:1.5.6
    env:
      - DOCKER_HOST=tcp://bw-docker:2375
...
  bw-docker:
    image: tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy:nightly
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    environment:
      - CONTAINERS=1
      - LOG_LEVEL=warning
...

Docker socket in rootless mode

If you are using Docker in rootless mode, you will need to replace the mount of the docker socket with the following value : $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro.

Networks

By default, BunkerWeb container is listening (inside the container) on 8080/tcp for HTTP and 8443/tcp for HTTPS.

Privileged ports in rootless mode or when using podman

If you are using Docker in rootless mode and want to redirect privileged ports (< 1024) like 80 and 443 to BunkerWeb, please refer to the prerequisites here.

If you are using podman you can lower the minimum number for unprivileged ports :

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=1

The typical BunkerWeb stack when using the Docker integration contains the following containers :

  • BunkerWeb
  • Scheduler
  • Docker socket proxy
  • Your services

For defense in depth purposes, we strongly recommend to create at least three different Docker networks :

  • bw-services : for BunkerWeb and your web services
  • bw-universe : for BunkerWeb and scheduler
  • bw-docker : for scheduler and the Docker API proxy

To secure the communication between the scheduler and BunkerWeb API, it is important to authorize API calls. You can use the API_WHITELIST_IP setting to specify allowed IP addresses and subnets. It is strongly recommended to use a static subnet for the bw-universe network to enhance security. By implementing these measures, you can ensure that only authorized sources can access the BunkerWeb API, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or malicious activities:

...

  mybunker:
    image: bunkerity/bunkerweb:1.5.6
    ports:
      - 80:8080
      - 443:8443
    networks:

Docker autoconf

Overview

Docker autoconf integration

Docker integration

The Docker autoconf integration is an "evolution" of the Docker one. Please read the Docker integration section first if needed.

An alternative approach is available to address the inconvenience of recreating the container every time there is an update. By utilizing another image called autoconf, you can automate the real-time reconfiguration of BunkerWeb without the need for container recreation.

To leverage this functionality, instead of defining environment variables for the BunkerWeb container, you can add labels to your web application containers. The autoconf image will then listen for Docker events and seamlessly handle the configuration updates for BunkerWeb.

This "automagical" process simplifies the management of BunkerWeb configurations. By adding labels to your web application containers, you can delegate the reconfiguration tasks to autoconf without the manual intervention of container recreation. This streamlines the update process and enhances convenience.

By adopting this approach, you can enjoy real-time reconfiguration of BunkerWeb without the hassle of container recreation, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

Multisite mode

The Docker autoconf integration implies the use of multisite mode. Please refer to the multisite section of the documentation for more information.

Database backend

Please be aware that our instructions assume you are using MariaDB as the default database backend, as configured by the DATABASE_URI setting. However, we understand that you may prefer to utilize alternative backends for your Docker integration. If that is the case, rest assured that other database backends are still possible. See docker-compose files in the misc/integrations folder folder of the repository for more information.

To enable automated configuration updates, include an additional container called bw-autoconf in the stack. This container hosts the autoconf service, which manages dynamic configuration changes for BunkerWeb. To support this functionality, use a dedicated "real" database backend (e.g., MariaDB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL) for synchronized configuration storage. By integrating bw-autoconf and a suitable database backend, you establish the infrastructure for seamless automated configuration management in BunkerWeb.

  bw-services:
    name: bw-services
  bw-docker:
    name: bw-docker

Database in the bw-docker network

The database container is intentionally not included in the bw-universe network. It is used by the bw-autoconf and bw-scheduler containers rather than directly by BunkerWeb. Therefore, the database container is part of the bw-docker network, which enhances security by making external access to the database more challenging. This deliberate design choice helps safeguard the database and strengthens the overall security perspective of the system.

Using Docker in rootless mode

If you are using Docker in rootless mode, you will need to replace the mount of the docker socket with the following value : $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro.

Once the stack is set up, you will be able to create the web application container and add the settings as labels using the "bunkerweb." prefix in order to automatically set up BunkerWeb :

version: "3.5"

services:
  myapp:
    image: mywebapp:4.2
    networks:
      bw-services:
        aliases:
          - myapp
    labels:
      - "bunkerweb.MY_SETTING_1=value1"
      - "bunkerweb.MY_SETTING_2=value2"

networks:
  bw-services:
    external: true
    name: bw-services

Swarm

Overview

Docker Swarm integration

Docker autoconf

The Swarm integration is similar to the Docker autoconf one (but with services instead of containers). Please read the Docker autoconf integration section first if needed.

To enable automatic configuration of BunkerWeb instances, the autoconf service requires access to the Docker API. This service listens for Docker Swarm events, such as service creation or deletion, and seamlessly configures the BunkerWeb instances in real-time without any downtime. It also monitors other Swarm objects, such as configs, for custom configurations.

Similar to the Docker autoconf integration, configuration for web services is defined using labels that start with the bunkerweb prefix.

For an optimal setup, it is recommended to schedule the BunkerWeb service as a global service on all nodes, while the autoconf, scheduler, and Docker API proxy services should be scheduled as single replicated services. Please note that the Docker API proxy service needs to be scheduled on a manager node unless you configure it to use a remote API (which is not covered in the documentation).

Since multiple instances of BunkerWeb are running, a shared data store implemented as a Redis service must be created. These instances will utilize the Redis service to cache and share data. Further details regarding the Redis settings can be found here.

As for the database volume, the documentation does not specify a specific approach. Choosing either a shared folder or a specific driver for the database volume is dependent on your unique use-case and is left as an exercise for the reader.

Database backend

Please be aware that our instructions assume you are using MariaDB as the default database backend, as configured by the DATABASE_URI setting. However, we understand that you may prefer to utilize alternative backends for your Docker integration. If that is the case, rest assured that other database backends are still possible. See docker-compose files in the misc/integrations folder folder of the repository for more information.

Clustered database backends setup are out-of-the-scope of this documentation.

Here is the stack boilerplate that you can deploy using docker stack deploy :

Swarm mandatory setting

Please note that the SWARM_MODE=yes environment variable is mandatory when using the Swarm integration.

Once the BunkerWeb Swarm stack is set up and running (see autoconf and scheduler logs for more information), you will be able to deploy web applications in the cluster and use labels to dynamically configure BunkerWeb :

version: "3.5"

services:
  myapp:
    image: mywebapp:4.2
    networks:
      - bw-services
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints:
          - "node.role==worker"
      labels:
        - "bunkerweb.MY_SETTING_1=value1"
        - "bunkerweb.MY_SETTING_2=value2"

networks:
  bw-services:
    external: true
    name: bw-services

Kubernetes

Overview

Kubernetes integration

To automate the configuration of BunkerWeb instances in a Kubernetes environment, the autoconf service serves as an Ingress controller. It configures the BunkerWeb instances based on Ingress resources and also monitors other Kubernetes objects, such as ConfigMap, for custom configurations.

For an optimal setup, it is recommended to define BunkerWeb as a DaemonSet, which ensures that a pod is created on all nodes, while the autoconf and scheduler are defined as single replicated Deployment.

Given the presence of multiple BunkerWeb instances, it is necessary to establish a shared data store implemented as a Redis service. This Redis service will be utilized by the instances to cache and share data among themselves. Further information about the Redis settings can be found here.

Database backend

Please be aware that our instructions assume you are using MariaDB as the default database backend, as configured by the DATABASE_URI setting. However, we understand that you may prefer to utilize alternative backends for your Docker integration. If that is the case, rest assured that other database backends are still possible. See docker-compose files in the misc/integrations folder folder of the repository for more information.

Clustered database backends setup are out-of-the-scope of this documentation.

Please ensure that both the scheduler and autoconf services have access to the Kubernetes API. It is recommended to utilize RBAC authorization for this purpose.

Additionally, it is crucial to set the KUBERNETES_MODE environment variable to yes when utilizing the Kubernetes integration. This variable is mandatory for proper functionality.

Linux

Overview

Linux integration

Supported Linux distributions for BunkerWeb (amd64/x86_64 and arm64/aarch64 architectures) include:

  • Debian 12 "Bookworm"
  • Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy"
  • Fedora 39
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.9
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.3

Please ensure that you have NGINX 1.24.0 installed before installing BunkerWeb. For all distributions, except Fedora, it is mandatory to use prebuilt packages from the official NGINX repository. Compiling NGINX from source or using packages from different repositories will not work with the official prebuilt packages of BunkerWeb. However, you have the option to build BunkerWeb from source.

To simplify the installation process, Linux package repositories for BunkerWeb are available on PackageCloud. They provide a bash script that automatically adds and trusts the repository. You can follow the provided script for automatic setup, or opt for manual installation instructions if you prefer.

The first step is to add NGINX official repository :

sudo apt install -y curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release debian-archive-keyring && \
curl https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor \
| sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null && \
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

You should now be able to install NGINX 1.24.0 :

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install -y nginx=1.24.0-1~$(lsb_release -cs)

Testing/dev version

If you use the testing or dev version, you will need to add the force-bad-version directive to your /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg file before installing BunkerWeb.

Optional step : if you want to automatically enable the setup wizard when BunkerWeb is installed, export the following variable :

export UI_WIZARD=1

And finally install BunkerWeb 1.5.6 :

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/bunkerity/bunkerweb/script.deb.sh | sudo bash && \
sudo apt update && \
sudo -E apt install -y bunkerweb=1.5.6

To prevent upgrading NGINX and/or BunkerWeb packages when executing apt upgrade, you can use the following command :

sudo apt-mark hold nginx bunkerweb

The first step is to add NGINX official repository :

sudo apt install -y curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release ubuntu-keyring && \
curl https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor \
| sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null && \
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] \
http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

You should now be able to install NGINX 1.24.0 :

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install -y nginx=1.24.0-1~jammy

Testing/dev version

If you use the testing or dev version, you will need to add the force-bad-version directive to your /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg file before installing BunkerWeb.

Optional step : if you want to automatically enable the setup wizard when BunkerWeb is installed, export the following variable :

export UI_WIZARD=1

And finally install BunkerWeb 1.5.6 :

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/bunkerity/bunkerweb/script.deb.sh | sudo bash && \
sudo apt update && \
sudo -E apt install -y bunkerweb=1.5.6

To prevent upgrading NGINX and/or BunkerWeb packages when executing apt upgrade, you can use the following command :

sudo apt-mark hold nginx bunkerweb

Fedora already provides NGINX 1.24.0 that we support :

sudo dnf install -y nginx-1.24.0

Optional step : if you want to automatically enable the setup wizard when BunkerWeb is installed, export the following variable :

export UI_WIZARD=1

And finally install BunkerWeb 1.5.6 :

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/bunkerity/bunkerweb/script.rpm.sh | \
sed 's/yum install -y pygpgme --disablerepo='\''bunkerity_bunkerweb'\''/yum install -y python-gnupg/g' | \
sed 's/pypgpme_check=`rpm -qa | grep -qw pygpgme`/python-gnupg_check=`rpm -qa | grep -qw python-gnupg`/g' | sudo bash && \
sudo dnf makecache && \
sudo -E dnf install -y bunkerweb-1.5.6

To prevent upgrading NGINX and/or BunkerWeb packages when executing dnf upgrade, you can use the following command :

sudo dnf versionlock add nginx && \
sudo dnf versionlock add bunkerweb

The first step is to add NGINX official repository. Create the following file at /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo :

[nginx-stable]
name=nginx stable repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true

[nginx-mainline]
name=nginx mainline repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true

You should now be able to install NGINX 1.24.0 :

sudo dnf install nginx-1.24.0

Optional step : if you want to automatically enable the setup wizard when BunkerWeb is installed, export the following variable :

export UI_WIZARD=1

And finally install BunkerWeb 1.5.6 :

  dnf install -y epel-release && \
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/bunkerity/bunkerweb/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash && \
sudo dnf check-update && \
sudo -E dnf install -y bunkerweb-1.5.6

To prevent upgrading NGINX and/or BunkerWeb packages when executing dnf upgrade, you can use the following command :

sudo dnf versionlock add nginx && \
sudo dnf versionlock add bunkerweb

The configuration of BunkerWeb is done by editing the /etc/bunkerweb/variables.env file :

MY_SETTING_1=value1
MY_SETTING_2=value2
...

BunkerWeb is managed using systemctl :

  • Check BunkerWeb status : systemctl status bunkerweb
  • Start it if it's stopped : systemctl start bunkerweb
  • Stop it if it's started : systemctl stop bunkerweb
  • And restart : systemctl restart bunkerweb

Ansible

Overview

Ansible integration

Supported Linux distributions for BunkerWeb (amd64/x86_64 and arm64/aarch64 architectures) include:

  • Debian 12 "Bookworm"
  • Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy"
  • Fedora 39
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.9
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.3

To simplify the deployment and configuration process, Ansible can be used as an IT automation tool. Ansible enables you to configure systems, deploy software, and perform advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates.

For BunkerWeb, there is a dedicated Ansible role available on Ansible Galaxy.

To proceed with the BunkerWeb Ansible role setup, follow these steps:

  1. Begin by creating an inventory file that lists the IP addresses or FQDNs of the remote systems you want to manage. You can either add this information to the /etc/ansible/hosts file or create a separate inventory file such as inventory.yml. Here's an example using a TOML format:

    [mybunkers]
    192.0.2.50
    192.0.2.51
    192.0.2.52
    
  2. Next, establish SSH connections to the managed nodes by adding your public SSH keys to the authorized_keys file on each remote system. Verify that you can successfully connect to the nodes using SSH.

  3. Create a playbook file, such as playbook.yml, which will define the desired configuration using the BunkerWeb Ansible role. Here's an example playbook configuration:

    ---
    - hosts: all
      become: true
      roles:
        - bunkerity.bunkerweb
    
  4. Execute the playbook using the ansible-playbook command, providing the inventory file and the playbook file as arguments. For example:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbook.yml
    

By running the playbook, Ansible will apply the BunkerWeb role to all the hosts specified in the inventory, setting up the desired configuration.

the configuration of BunkerWeb is done by using specific role variables :

Name Type Description Default value
bunkerweb_version string Version of BunkerWeb to install. 1.5.6
nginx_version string Version of NGINX to install. 1.24.0
freeze_versions boolean Prevent upgrade of BunkerWeb and NGINX when performing packages upgrades. true
variables_env string Path of the variables.env file to configure BunkerWeb. files/variables.env
enable_ui boolean Activate the web UI. false
custom_ui string Path of the ui.env file to configure the web UI. files/ui.env
custom_configs_path Dictionary Each entry is a path of the folder containing custom configurations. Keys are the type of custom configs : http, server-http, modsec, modsec-crs and default-server-http empty values
custom_www string Path of the www directory to upload. empty value
custom_plugins string Path of the plugins directory to upload. empty value
custom_www_owner string Default owner for www files and folders. nginx
custom_www_group string Default group for www files and folders. nginx

Vagrant

List of supported providers :

  • virtualbox
  • libvirt

Supported Base Images

Please be aware that the provided Vagrant boxes are based exclusively on Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy". While BunkerWeb supports other Linux distributions, the Vagrant setup currently only supports Ubuntu 22.04 as the base operating system. This ensures a consistent and reliable environment for users who want to deploy BunkerWeb using Vagrant.

Similar to other BunkerWeb integrations, the Vagrant setup uses NGINX version 1.24.0. This specific version is required to ensure compatibility and smooth functioning with BunkerWeb. Additionally, the Vagrant box includes PHP pre-installed, providing a ready-to-use environment for hosting PHP-based applications alongside BunkerWeb.

By using the provided Vagrant box based on Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy", you benefit from a well-configured and integrated setup, allowing you to focus on developing and securing your applications with BunkerWeb without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

Here are the steps to install BunkerWeb using Vagrant on Ubuntu with the supported virtualization providers (VirtualBox, and libvirt):

  1. Make sure you have Vagrant and one of the supported virtualization providers (VirtualBox or libvirt) installed on your system.
  2. There are two ways to install the Vagrant box with BunkerWeb: either by using a provided Vagrantfile to configure your virtual machine or by creating a new box based on the existing BunkerWeb Vagrant box, offering you flexibility in how you set up your development environment.
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "bunkerity/bunkerweb"
end

Depending on the virtualization provider you choose, you may need to install additional plugins:

vagrant init bunkerity/bunkerweb

Depending on the virtualization provider you choose, you may need to install additional plugins:

After installing the necessary plugins for your chosen virtualization provider, run the following command to start the virtual machine and install BunkerWeb:

vagrant up --provider=virtualbox # or --provider=libvirt

Finally, to access the virtual machine using SSH, execute the following command:

vagrant ssh

Example Vagrantfile

Here is an example Vagrantfile for installing BunkerWeb on Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy" using the different supported virtualization providers:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy"
  config.vm.box = "bunkerity/bunkerweb"
  # Uncomment the desired virtualization provider
  # For VirtualBox (default)
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox"
  # For libvirt
  # config.vm.provider "libvirt"
end
