opencti-terraform

This repository is here to provide you with a quick and easy way to deploy an OpenCTI instance in the cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

If you run into any issues, please open an issue.

Before you deploy

You will need to first change into the aws/ or azure/ or gcp/ directory before you run terraform init. The following sections will bring you through the entire process and outline the various settings you will need to set before you can deploy.

AWS

First, change into the aws/ directory:

cd aws/

Before you get going, there are a some variables you will probably want to set. All of these can be found in aws/terraform.tfvars:

  • allowed_ips_application: Array containing each of the IPs that are allowed to access the web application. Default 0.0.0.0/0 all IPs.
  • availability_zone: The AWS availability zone. Default us-east-1a.
  • instance_type: The AWS instance type to use. Default t3.2xlarge (8x32).
  • login_email: The e-mail address used to login to the application. Default [email protected].
  • region: The AWS region used. Default us-east. NOTE: if you change this, you will need to change the remote state region in aws/main.tf. Variable interpolation is not allowed in that block so it has to be hardcoded.
  • root_volume_size: The root volume size for the EC2 instance. Without this, the volume is 7.7GB and fills up in a day. Default 32 (GB). Note that this will incur costs.
  • storage_bucket: The name of the S3 bucket to store scripts and remote state in. Default opencti-storage.
  • subnet_id: The AWS subnet to use. No default specified.
  • vpc_id: The VPC to use. No default specified.

If your AWS credentials are not stored in ~/.aws/credentials, you will need to edit that line in aws/main.tf.

Remote state

The remote state is defined in aws/main.tf. Variable interpolation is not allowed in that block and the easiest choice (both for writing the code and for you using the code) was to pick sensible defaults and hardcode them. The variables are:

  • key: The name of the state file. Default terraform_state.
  • region: The region to use. Default us-east-1.
  • storage_bucket: The name of the S3 bucket to store the state file in. Default opencti-storage.

Important: If you change the region in aws/terraform.tfvars, you will want to change the region here, too. If you want to change the S3 bucket name (defined in aws/terraform.tfvars), you will also want to change it here.

Azure

First, change into the azure/ directory:

cd azure/

Then, you will need to login to Azure CLI and set some variables. Let's do Azure login first. To that end, just run az login to login and be able to deploy the Terraform code.

Before you deploy, you may wish to change some of the settings. These are all in azure/terraform.tfvars:

  • account_name: The Azure account name. No default; this must be set.
  • admin_user: The name of the admin user on the VM. Default azureuser
  • location: The Azure region to deploy in. Default eastus.
  • login_email: The e-mail address used to login to the OpenCTI web frontend. Default [email protected].
  • os_disk_size: The VM's disk size (in GB). Default 32 (the minimum recommended spec).
  • storage_bucket: Name of the storage bucket for storing scripts. Default opencti-storage.

GCP

Change into the gcp/ directory:

cd gcp/

You will need to create a new project in GCP and set up billing. Note the project ID because you will need it in a minute. Then, set up a service account with the following roles and download the service account key:

  • Security Admin
  • Owner
  • Storage Admin

The following items can be set in terraform.tfvars:

  • credentials: The path to your service account key file. Please make sure it has the permissions listed above. No default.
  • disk_size: The disk size (in GB) for the instance. Default 32. OpenCTI minimum specs is 32GB drive.
  • machine_type: The GCE machine type to use. Default e2-standard-8. OpenCTI minimum specs is 8x16. The default size is 8x32.
  • project_id: The Google Cloud project ID. No default.
  • region: The Google Cloud region to run the instance in. Default us-east1.
  • zone: The Google Cloud zone to run the instance in. Default us-east1-b.

Deployment

To see what Terraform is going to do and make sure you're cool with it, create a plan (terraform plan) and check it over. Once you're good to go, apply it (terraform apply).

AWS

Once the instance is online, connect to it via SSM (Systems Manager) in the AWS console. You can follow along with the install by checking the logfile:

tail -F /var/log/user-data.log

Azure

To login, run the following commands. These commands will remove the old SSH key, put the new one in place, fix its permissions, and SSH into the VM:

rm -f ~/.ssh/azureuser
cat terraform.tfstate | jq '.outputs.tls_private_key.value' | sed 's/"//g' | awk '{ gsub(/\\\\n/,"\\n") }1' > ~/.ssh/azureuser
chmod 400 ~/.ssh/azureuser
ssh -i ~/.ssh/azureuser azureuser@$(az vm show --resource-group opencti_rg --name opencti -d --query [publicIps] -o tsv)

GCP

The apply will probably fail because the APIs (Compute Engine, IAM, etc.) are being activated. If it errors out because of the APIs, wait a few minutes and re-run terraform apply.

Post-deployment

Once the installation is complete, you'll want to grab the admin password that was generated. The username is the e-mail you provided in terraform.tfvars. Get the password by running the following on the VM:

cat /opt/opencti/config/production.json | jq '.app.admin.password'

Next, go to port 4000 of the public IP of the machine and login with the credentials you just grabbed.
