# Quickstart Guide Here's a quickstart guide to setting up the Nemesis platform using k3s and Helm on Debian 11: ### Prerequisites Ensure your machine meets the following requirements: - **OS**: Debian 11 LTS - **Processors**: 4 cores (3 can work with adjustments) - **Memory**: 16 GB RAM (minimum of 10 GB for reduced performance) - **Disk Space**: 100 GB - **Architecture**: x64 only ### Step 1: Install Docker Install Docker by following the [official Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). The installation instructions for Debian are replicated below: ```bash for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc # Add the repository to Apt sources: echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin ``` ### Step 2: Install k3s Execute the following commands to install [k3s](https://docs.k3s.io/quick-start): ```bash curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh - mkdir -p ~/.kube && sudo k3s kubectl config view --raw > ~/.kube/config chmod 600 ~/.kube/config export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config ``` ### Step 3: Install Helm Install [Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/): ```bash curl https://baltocdn.com/helm/signing.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/helm.gpg > /dev/null sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https --yes echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/helm.gpg] https://baltocdn.com/helm/stable/debian/ all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/helm-stable-debian.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install helm ``` ### Step 4: Install Dependencies Install dependencies using Helm: ```bash helm install elastic-operator eck-operator --repo https://helm.elastic.co --namespace elastic-system --create-namespace --set managedNamespaces='{default}' ``` ### Step 5: Install the `quickstart` Chart Deploy the `quickstart` Helm chart to configure secrets: ```bash helm install --repo https://specterops.github.io/Nemesis/ nemesis-quickstart quickstart ``` ### Step 6: Install `nemesis` Deploy the main Nemesis services: ```bash helm install --repo https://specterops.github.io/Nemesis/ nemesis nemesis --timeout '45m' ``` ### Step 7: Get basic-auth Secret Retrieve the basic authentication credentials to access the dashboard: ```bash export BASIC_AUTH_USER=$(kubectl get secret basic-auth -o jsonpath="{.data.username}" | base64 -d) export BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret basic-auth -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d) echo "${BASIC_AUTH_USER}:${BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD}" ``` ### Step 8: Logging into the Dashboard Once all installations and configurations are complete, open a web browser and go to: ``` https://127.0.0.1 ``` Enter the basic authentication credentials you retrieved earlier to access the Nemesis dashboard. Use the following credentials: - **Username**: The value stored in `${BASIC_AUTH_USER}` - **Password**: The value stored in `${BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD}`
