This guide assumes:

  • That you have a dedicated or virtual private server (VPS) with at least 2 CPU cores and 4GB of memory.
  • That you have a working knowledge of a Linux based operating system.
  • That you have a basic knowledge of docker/docker compose.

Install docker compose

Ubuntu/Debian-like:

sudo apt install docker docker-compose

RHEL/Fedora/CentOS:

sudo dnf install docker docker-compose

Configure BBCrawler

The configuration should be fairly self-explanatory. Use example.env as a reference for your production.env file.

Once you are happy with the configuration then you can start the application by running docker-compose up or docker-compose up -d to run it in the background.

If you are running the scanner separately from the other services then be sure to expose RabbitMQ in the docker-compose file for the other services so that the scanning servers can connect to the message queue.
