  docker-compose pull
  
  docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --compatibility up -d
  

  • Windows Machine

  curl.exe -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWASP/crAPI/main/deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml
  
  docker-compose pull
  
  docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --compatibility up -d
  

• To use the latest development version

  • Linux Machine

  curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWASP/crAPI/develop/deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml

Vagrant

This option allows you to run crAPI within a virtual machine, thus isolated from your system. You'll need to have Vagrant and, for example VirtualBox installed.

1. Clone crAPI repository

   $ git clone [REPOSITORY-URL]
   

2. Start crAPI Virtual Machine

   $ cd deploy/vagrant && vagrant up
   

3. Visit http://192.168.33.20

Note: All emails are sent to mailhog service and can be checked on http://192.168.33.20:8025

Once you're done playing with crAPI, you can remove it completely from your system running the following command from the repository root directory

$ cd deploy/vagrant && vagrant destroy
