# Simple-IDS - Suricata/EveBox
Simple-IDS is a tool to easily run Suricata and EveBox Linux systems
using Docker or Podman.
This program is considered experimental and many things may change,
break, change name (I'm thinking simpleids is better), change repo,
etc, etc... And I might even force push!
## System Requirements
- An x86_64 or Aarch64 based Linux distribution with Docker or
Podman. This includes most Linux distributions available today
including Raspberry Pi OS (with 64 bit update applied).
- Root access.
## Installation the Easy Way
```
mkdir ~/simple-ids
Or download directly from https://evebox.org/files/simple-ids/.
Once you have the program downloaded, run it:
```
./simple-ids
```
Under the configure menu select your network interface, then select
"Start" from the main menu.
## Building
If you just want to use Simple-IDS you can download a pre-compiled
binary. The following is only for those who wish to compile Simple-IDS
themselves.
### For Host OS
```
cargo build --release
```
### Static Targets
Static binaries for x86_64 and other platforms can be built with the
`cross` tool. To install `cross`:
```
cargo install cross
```
#### x86_64
```
cross build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
```
#### Aarch64 (Raspberry Pi 64 bit)
```
cross build --release --target aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
```
