Root causes found by prebuilding every challenge image in parallel:
- fjb: ghcr.io base is not anonymously pullable here -> official httpd:2.4.
pnpm 12 (via corepack on node:20) fails the install with
ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS unless build scripts are approved; neither
onlyBuiltDependencies in pnpm-workspace.yaml nor --no-ignore-scripts
suppresses it. The working sequence is:
pnpm install --ignore-scripts && pnpm approve-builds --all && pnpm rebuild
- xl + kode-viewer: node:20-slim-bookworm is not a real tag -> node:20-bookworm-slim.
- burvesigner: python-dev no longer exists in bookworm -> dropped (python3-dev
was already there and the source has no py2 syntax).
- burvesigner/hirnfick/s3: apt update and install were separate RUN layers;
with the bundled apt-insecure.conf the second invocation re-resolved against
the EOL bullseye-security mirror and 404'd every package. Merged into one
'update && install' layer (fix_apt_layers.py, idempotent).
- consolidate_images.sh: teams used to build a private image per team
(team1-x ... team4-x) because no shared image existed. Since the password is
applied at runtime via chpasswd, one shared services-<name> build is enough;
this reclaims ~1.5 GB, which matters on a 79 GB disk.
- reconcile_team_state(): a challenge enabled while a team was down left
state.json without ports/flag/password, so the next compose render died with
KeyError. Now both the API and the CLI tools reconcile first.
- fix_dup_volumes.py: 4 canonical templates had TWO volumes: keys inside one
service (invalid YAML -> 'mapping key volumes already defined'), which broke
every enable for anti-alchemy/burvesigner/gemas-notes/kode-viewer.
- fjb: ghcr.io base is not anonymously pullable on this host; swapped to the
official httpd:2.4 (its httpd.conf only uses stock modules). Added
onlyBuiltDependencies to package.json (pnpm >=10 blocks esbuild's postinstall).
- xl + kode-viewer: node:20-slim-bookworm is not a real tag; use
node:20-bookworm-slim. gift-voucher: buster -> bookworm.
- prebuild_images.py: build each challenge's shared services-<name> image once
in parallel (passes a placeholder PASSWORD build-arg, since several Dockerfiles
run chpasswd and fail on an empty arg).
- set_enabled.py / sync_all_challenges.py: batch registry flip + runtime apply
that survives panel restarts and reports per-team results.
- Challenge toggle is now async: PATCH returns a job id, the client polls
/api/challenges/jobs/<id> so a multi-minute build no longer blocks the panel.
Added _SYNC_LOCK to serialize concurrent compose rewrites.
- all 6 Dockerfiles: vim curl wget netcat git python3-pip now installed
- apt-insecure.conf (AllowInsecureRepositories) copied into images so
participants can apt-get install despite expired Ubuntu/Debian GPG keys
- warmup base ubuntu:20.04 (EOL, GPG expired) -> ubuntu:24.04
- installed vim+git live into all 18 running team containers
- team portal target dropdown reloads after login (was empty pre-auth)
- attack log endpoint + A/D submit (attacker vs target) verified e2e
- blogpost: python:3.11-slim-bullseye is EOL (apt 404s), switch to bookworm
- utils/bashrc: host port 80 is taken by Traefik/Coolify, preexec posts to :18080
- ignore receiver .venv
