Is it possible to execute a task through through the web-server about recon-ng

[lanmaster53]

If you have the redis server and worker running in the background, the tasks execute automatically as they are added in the queue. Are you running the full environment with docker-compose?

[makstakeda]

Strange. My tasks are queued for few days and stuck there 😢

I am running from a source. I did not try run through a docker. My logs do not say anything suspicious when i try to hit POST /tasks/{path} (just disabled modules and missed API keys)

Do you have Redis and a worker instance running? If not, then it's not going to work do anything.

I recommend using Docker. That's the best way to run this as the configuration is complicated. I won't be supporting custom configurations and manual setups to get all of that running. That's the reason I built the Docker stuff. But if you really want to, the docker-compose file should have enough information for you to cobble your way through it.

[makstakeda]

Yeah. Thanks. I set up the docker environment. I am trying with docker-compose at the moment but getting no data

http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/modules/ -> {"modules": []}

It looks like it talks with some another environment. If I do docker run - works fine and I see my data there.

Do I miss something? How to set it up?

[makstakeda]

ahh. got it. need to set it up through docker-compose run web /bin/sh.

Thank you for your help!

[lanmaster53]

docker-compose up should have worked as well. It uses the local ~/.recon-ng folder on your host system if it exists, otherwise it creates a new one. Then you need to install modules, etc. What are you doing with it? Just testing, or building something around it?

[makstakeda]

At the moment just playing and looking how it works. When hope to use it as a data provider by hitting API from the app. It looks like really good all-in-one solution. Just do not need to store the response in tables. Need just return it :-)
