Follow these steps to create a Droplet (virtual server) where you’ll run this container:

1. Sign up using the referral link to receive your free credits.
2. Create a new Droplet in your Digital Ocean dashboard:
   • Choose an Ubuntu image (version 20.04 or later recommended).
   • Select your Droplet size (e.g., 1 CPU, 1GB RAM – or larger if needed).
   • Choose a Data Center Region close to you.
   • Add your SSH keys or use a root password (recommended to use SSH keys).
   • Click Create Droplet and wait for the Droplet to be ready.
3. Obtain the Droplet’s IP address from the Digital Ocean dashboard.

Cloning This Repository

1. Once your Droplet is running, SSH into your server:

ssh root@<DROPLET_IP_ADDRESS>

3. Then clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/toniall/DarkWebCourse.git

4. Go into the cloned directory:

cd DarkWebCourse

Building and Running the Docker Container

1. Build the Docker image (using the included dockerfile):

docker build -t darkweb -f dockerfile .

2. Run the Docker container using one of the following commands:

• Option A: docker run

docker run -d \
  --name darkweb \
  -e VNC_PW=password \
  -e VNC_USER=user \
  -p 5901:6080 \
  darkweb

• Option B: docker-compose

docker-compose up -d

3. Accessing the Container Open your browser and go to:

https://<SERVER_IP>:5901

Note: The port 5901 can be changed to any other port if needed (e.g., -p 5902:6080, -p 5903:6080, etc.).

Note: Sometimes, you must reload the page to get all the content correctly.

4. When prompted for a username and password, use the same VNC_USER and VNC_PW you specified when running the container (e.g., user / password).

5. When prompted for a username and password, use the same VNC_USER and VNC_PW you specified when running the container (e.g., user / password).

Multiple Containers

To run multiple containers on the same server, use different ports (e.g., -p 5902:6080, -p 5903:6080, etc.). Note that multiple users can connect, but only one user can control the session at a time.
