Tutorials

These tutorials walk you through Conn3x one task at a time. Each page lists what you need, how long it takes, and how to clean up afterwards. They’re written for Conn3x v0.6.3.

Work through them in order if you’re new. Each one builds on the ones before it, but you can start anywhere if you already have the prerequisites.

Tutorial Time You need
1 Try Conn3x locally 10 minutes Podman or Docker
2 Configure your first real server 15 minutes A Linux server you can reach over SSH
3 Provision and configure on DigitalOcean 15 minutes A DigitalOcean account. Costs a few cents.
4 Reach hosts through a bastion 15 minutes A bastion and a host behind it
5 Keep secrets out of state 10 minutes The container from tutorial 1
6 Catch drift in CI 15 minutes A GitHub repository and a remote state backend
7 Migrate an Ansible playbook 15 minutes A playbook, or the one on the page

Get started is a shorter version of tutorials 1 and 2 in one page. The guides explain single tasks without the walkthrough, and the circuit language and CLI reference pages hold every argument and option.
