An Ansible Role that installs Bloodhound-CE on a debian based system.

  • Checks if {{ ludus_bloodhound_ce_install_path }}/docker-compose.yml exists
  • If not, it installs vanilla bloodhound-ce (via docker-compose)
  • Outputs the admin password in bloodhound_ce_install_path (default: /opt/bloodhound)

To force the role to re-run, stop the docker container and remove the ludus_bloodhound_ce_install_path folder

cd /opt/bloodhound
docker compose down
cd ..
rm -rf /opt/bloodhound

Requirements

Debian based OS
