git clone https://github.com/CervantesSec/docker.git

• After that you need to start your docker containers:

docker-compose -p cervantes -f docker-compose.yml up -d

Default User and Password

When you first launch the Cervantes application, a default user is created for you. The default username is [email protected].

The password for this user is generated randomly during the creation of the application container and the first launch of the application. This means that the password is unique for each instance of the application and provides an additional layer of security.

Please note that it's important to change the default password as soon as possible to ensure the security of your application. You can do this by logging in with the default user and navigating to the user settings page.

Remember, the security of your application is paramount. Always use strong, unique passwords and change them regularly.

How to run it locally

To install the Cervantes application from the source code, you can follow these steps:

• Clone the Repository: First, you need to clone the repository from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/CervantesSec/cervantes.git

• Navigate to the Project Directory: Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the project directory:

cd Cervantes

• Edit appsettings.json: To use the application you need to edit the appsettings.json file inside the Cervantes.Web folder.

Database Connection String The database connection string is used to connect your application to your database. It usually includes the server name, database name, and authentication details. Here's an example of how it might look in your appsettings.json:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Username=myUsername;Password=myPassword"
  },
}

Replace myServerAddress, myDataBase, myUsername, and myPassword with your actual database details.

• Install Dependencies: The project uses .NET 8.0, so you need to have it installed on your machine. If you don't have it, you can download it from the official .NET website. Once .NET is installed, you can install the project dependencies by running:

dotnet restore

• Build the Project: After the dependencies are installed, you can build the project:

dotnet build

• Run the Project: Finally, you can run the project:

dotnet run --project Cervantes.Web/Cervantes.Web.csproj

The application should now be running at http://localhost:5000.

Please note that this is a basic installation guide and the actual process might vary depending on the project's specific configuration and requirements. For example, if the project uses a database, you might need to set up the database and update the connection string in the configuration file.
