Hello Reader,

Following up on our last post, I’m now testing the installation process for Project Adaz to see if it’s still functional. While the project is marked as "maintained," confirming it’s installable on a Windows 11 system is a different matter entirely.

Below are my updated installation instructions to ensure a smoother setup:

Updated Installation Instructions for Project Adaz

1. Clone the Repository
   Assuming you already have Git installed, create a directory for the project, then run the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/christophetd/Adaz.git
   

2. Set Up the Python Environment
   Navigate to the newly created adaz directory and execute the following commands:

   python3 -m venv ansible/venv
   ./ansible/venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r ./ansible/requirements.txt
   deactivate
   

3. Prepare Terraform
   Download Terraform and extract it to the terraform directory within the adaz project folder.

4. Initialize Terraform
   Run the following commands:

   cd terraform
   terraform init
   

5. Set Up Azure CLI
   Ensure the Azure CLI is installed and log in to your desired Azure account using:

   az login
   

6. Generate an SSH Key (if needed)
   If you don’t already have an SSH key, generate one and store it in the .ssh directory. On Windows 11, run the following command in the terminal:

   ssh-keygen
   

   Make sure to name the key id_rsa and avoid accepting the default name.

7. Apply Terraform Configuration
   Navigate to the terraform directory and execute:

   terraform apply
   

Once these steps are complete, Terraform will build an Active Directory-enabled network with an ELK log forwarder to support your project needs.

Tomorrow we can see if it was succesful.
