This repository uses GitLab CI/CD and Terraform to deploy an AWS Lightsail instance running Cloud C2.

Docs

• Cloud C2 Docs
• Cloud C2 Setup
• Setting up Cloud C2 as a Service

Getting Started

1. Create AWS IAM User w/ necessary permissions and key pair.

2. Create environment variables in GitLab Project > Settings > CI/CD:

   • AWS_REGION
   • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
   • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

3. Clone the repository

4. Update hostname parameters in bash script for resource "aws_lightsail_instance"

   • Example: "cc2.kennethcarnes.com"

5. Push to man in GitLab CI/CD

6. Create a A record using your public DNS hosting provider

7. Connect to Cloud C2 via web browser

   • Example: http://cc2.kennethcarnes.com:8080

8. If this the first time you are configuring Cloud C2, you will need to retrieve the setup token.

   • Connect to instance w/ LightSail Connect SSH
   • cd /var/log
   • sudo cat cloud-init-output.log

Project Status

I hope to add additional features to make the process easier.

• Provide output of setup token with out logging into Lightsail
• Use GoDaddy API to update DNS Record
• SSL
• Potentially an easy way to start/stop the Lightsail instance after it is built
